There are many ways to earn money. You can find it lying on the street, receive it as a gift from family or friends, you can earn it by doing chores, and plenty of other ways. Let's learn the basics of money-making skills together! You'll learn about salaries, minimum wage, entrepreneurs, "marketable skills" and more. We'll learn many different ways to learn money, figure out your special skills and brainstorm ways you can make money on your own! Students don't need to attend classes with any experience or knowledge of these topics. We'll use real-life examples to help connect the dots between theory and reality.
