In my experience, there are multitudes of otherwise well-educated parents who are utterly ignorant in all these areas and spend loads of money paying other people/companies to do it all for them. These parents are not modeling wise behavior for their kids who will probably not have a lot of extra money to waste on these services, at least as new graduates. People who don’t have to depend on take-out, seamstresses, and handymen for hire, end up way ahead financially; giving students an opportunity to learn practical skills outside the home can make a huge difference if the kids are smart enough to take advantage of those courses.
