I def lucked out on this front on the cost of education side, but I'm ensuring that every one of my nieces and nephews go through/do a cost benefit analysis when they take on the university selection process.
Shocking how few students ever ran the numbers on their student debt long-run vs. expected income considering even a pretty limited spread of likely career trajectories. I don't think most of us ever had a single adult suggest doing this as we made these decisions *in our teens*

For sure - every 11th grader should have a class devoted to asking questions about post-HS life. College cost/benefit analyses, trade school exploration, how to do taxes...
