Real World 101: Colleges Teach Dining, Taxes, Life

The L.A.Times reports:
Bob Pfahnl will graduate with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Santa Clara University next week, but he readily admits there is plenty he still ought to learn.

Like how to cook a good dinner and take care of a car.

Fortunately for students like Pfahnl, 22, schools around the country increasingly are offering "real world" and "life after college" programs. They are aimed at young people who, though often whizzes on the Internet, flunk out when it comes to managing their credit cards or making a plate of pasta.
Heh.
