We were only taught economics and government for half-semesters in school. Keep in mind that we had to have tons of science courses on minute topics that aren't relevant to daily life.
Sure, it's good to know a bit about cells and genetics, but that's not going to help me nearly as much as knowing what financial decisions to make as an adult. It's not going to help me make money, and if I did decide to pursue science, I'd have to take the class again anyway.
