Yes, also cooking, basic farming and basic repair of equipment.
They need to teach them how to live in the real world as well as the theoretical world.
And for those ones that already know how, then it should be an easy A boosting their GPA and they shouldn't complain about it.

@TRUMPisGOD There are specific degree programs for those things.
@SubstantialKick Yes degree problems for the advanced degrees... but that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the basics... like how to cook something that doesn't need to microwave. Seems like I'm running into more people that don't know how to cook much other than microwave... maybe pasta or rice too but extremely limited cooking skills.
Also don't know how to take car of basically everyday equipment like cars... just checking it's oil and such.
Or the basics to growing basics food like a fresh tomato.
There are basic things everyone should know, that a growing number.of people don't seem to know. And have to go buy everything instead of making it for themselves, which cost them a lot more money.

@TRUMPisGOD I see what you are saying. You see, cooking and taking care of your car are basic necessities, but growing food seems more like a hobby which isn't for everyone.
@SubstantialKick True, maybe it can just be a basic project in the cooking class
You have to grow one fruit or veggie that must be used in the final project.
And let's be honest, some will buy them in stores and claim they grew them... but at least the honest students will get the chances to learn it.
But it can be mostly about cooking.
Also, not nessarily just cars. But fixing everyday things, that all use. You won't believe how many items get turned away for a minor problem.
Lots of vacuum cleaners or lamps thrown out just because of the cord doesn't work no more. Well, you can replace the cord cheaper than buying a whole new machine/lamp. Not hard, don't need much, and doesn't take much time to learn, but someone has to realize it.
