I always give money. I think self help books for college students would be good. Most high schoolers are not interested that young.

Hey, I'm only 2 years into college. I was interested at that age. However, I had already been working for 2.5 years when I graduated high school. That could be why.

But I actually think that is a great idea. I mean, it really does depend on the person. But, a guide to financial success would have been nice to receive in my opinion.

Well, I would have been interested too. I started working and saving at age 12. It just depends on the person. I would have love to have had books on mutual funds investing when I was young. I didn't learn about them til I was in my 40's. Our local library had no books about investing or mutual funds. (They only had about 10 books, all old!)

I think it would really depend on the person. I've worked since I was 14 and when I left for college I thought I undestood the basics. Of course I was wrong, but I know I would not have thought of books of that nature as all that useful to me. With as much as I moved around in college, they'd of been gone before I realized how dumb I was. But that's just me...hopefully there are those out there who would have figured it out sooner.
