After all, with your general college requirements,  as well as your major\/minor requirements, you may find that there are  not many &#8220;fun&#8221; classes you can take. However, if you have the time, I  highly recommend every college student take a personal finance class. It  will really help in the future, which is (shockingly!) coming soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">So, why take a personal finance class?

Spending money is very easy, too easy in fact. Saving  money, financial planning, and budgeting all takes some thought and  effort. Unfortunately, managing your finances isn\u2019t a skill you\u2019re born  with, so taking a personal finance course can really help you out in the  long run. It is definitely a skill well worth learning, especially in  today\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A senior\u2019s plea: Take a personal finance class &#8212; from USAToday College blog When it comes to choosing classes during your college years, it seems like an easy task.
