| Why Not Invite a Loan Officer to Class? |
 |
| That's what they did with great success at Waupun High School in
Waupun, Wisconsin, reports Linda Wulf, chairperson of the
Communications Department. Loan officers from local banks were
brought in to take each class through the loan application process
after students had chosen the house, car and occupation they
would like to have (from the budget exercise in chapter four of
Career Choices). Inevitably, some plans had to be revised.
"Several students chose to buy homes priced at more than
$200,000," Wulf says, "and realized an annual salary of $18,000
couldn't buy that much." |
