A REAL Wharton School graduate who's SMART and Proves it.
NFL player who saves nearly 90% of his income teaches a money class at Penn called 'Life 101'
New York Jets linebacker Brandon Copeland, 27, knows that his football career has an expiration date. "It's guaranteed football is going to be over one day," the NFL star told ESPN in 2017.
That's why Copeland is planning ahead: The Wharton School graduate, who spent two summers interning at the investment bank UBS in college, took an off-season job on Wall Street in 2017. He also has experience flipping houses and opened a real estate company with his wife last year.
His latest side hustle brings him back to the classroom: He's teaching a financial literacy seminar at his alma mater alongside Dr. Brian Peterson, the director of Penn's Makuu Black Cultural Center.
The class, which Copeland nicknamed "Life 101" and started this spring semester, covers "the realities of life we all have to deal with," he says, like how to invest, plan for retirement and build credit. He came up with the idea of the course two years ago, when he and a former teammate were talking about money mistakes and what they wish they'd known in their early 20s.

I guess it's possible kids are too young in grade school to fully understand money but once they hit high school and are able to get a job, open a checking account and get a credit card they need to understand personal finance. Credit ratings affect all of us yet how many kids who get credit cards for instance really understand the repercussions of not paying their bills on time?Really True ... I wonder who would be agaist teaching this in Grade Schools?

That's awesome. So what is the point? Are there FAKE Wharton school graduates? How does one "FAKE" being one?

I wish that were true, but based on your ideology and the brain dead posts you spam this forum with, the only think you own is dogma and failure.
