High school should be getting teenagers ready for the real world.

Cars and mortgages aren't "the real world". They're the current fads of society. Even if those fads coincidentally last your whole life, you can't know that ahead of time. Your schooling should be preparing you with the fundamentals you need to survive and understand any situation, and to even create new situations.

A combination of math and physics should teach you enough for you to figure out cars, if you choose to do so. And when cars are made obsolete, the same math and physics will prepare you to get the gist of hovermobiles. Basic reading is enough to figure out taxes, and basic math is enough for handling budgeting.

That said, the fact that you don't think history is relevant to you, and could inform your decisions today, is a bit worrying. You may have just gone to a terrible school?
