There should be a class sometime in your life, whether it be at varsity or at school, on how to start living as an adult.
There are so many things that you need to figure out or do when you start your working life (or even varsity life), and quite a lot of them can be really confusing, even if you do have your parents around to help. (because lets face it, 25+ years ago when they were starting their life, was a very different situation to strating your life now)
School is pretty easy, you get up, get ready, eat breakfast and then get a ride to school, where you are spoon fed everything. A bell rings when you are supposed to change classes, eat lunch or go home. You are given timetables and guidelines on how to do everything.
Then comes varsity, which requires some independence, but there are still set procedures in place for certain things.
After varsity, work. Wow! There are no guidelines on how to do anything. No one telling you what you need or how to get it, its assumed you know whats happening.
The Internet has made getting information about some of these things a lot easier, but you have to be a google master to find half the stuff you need. Acronyms are used EVERYWHERE, and finding forms to apply for things such as tax, or your drivers can be a nightmare.
By sharing my experiences with entering the adult world, I hope to make someones life a teensy bit easier. :)

As much as we can see the lack of disciplinary education, which is creating the lack of interest in daily responsibilities, we can only try to educate the kids or their educational institutions. As we grow up, it might also just be a life lesson to get your act into gear and start being responsible for your own actions, but I have to agree, it would have been a lot easier if someone made the effort in your growing years to teach you the ins and outs of the current corrupt system you have to deal with each day...
