    What’s wrong with teaching music in school? I never got on with it, but some of my classmates genuinely loved it. And now that we’re adults they aren’t professional musicians by any stretch of the imagination, but they still enjoy playing just for the fun of it or as a hobby.

    Few people I know do financial literacy as a hobby, no judgement though if that’s what helps you unwind after a day at the office.

      I’m pretty sure this is a song lyric from “the poor”, by Jesse Welles.

      “I was memorizing capitols

      I was in the spelling bee

      I must’ve missed the part

      Where they taught the art of private equity

      I was selling chocolate bars

      I had a disorder

      I was cuttin’ up a frog

      Got lost in the fog

      Learnin’ how to play a recorder

      I don’t think it’s supposed to be a slam against musical instruments.
