Adulting 101, Part One with Inshal Chenet And Jason Negri
Recorded course taught by Inshal Chenet, Jason Negri for High School Adulting
Summary

Get the skills you need to be successful in life outside of your parents’ home. In this course, you’ll learn the basics to being a responsible adult from finding a job to paying bills to caring for your car (and much, much more).

Instructor:  Inshal Chenet And Jason Negri

Course Description: The hardest thing about graduating high school is the long list of adult activities that were never explained. We polled college students to find what they wished they had learned: tire changes, jump-starting, budgets, the 80/20 rule, taxes, credit cards, job searching, and much more.
