Hello People! :) This is my first Board! This board explores the Post-Education Reality Gap โ the disconnect between what we learn in school/college and what we actually need to survive and thrive in the real world.
๐ฏ The Core Problem
Young adults (18โ25) are expected to suddenly handle:
๐ Rental agreements & housing rules
๐ฐ Financial systems (tax, loans, mutual funds, scams)
๐ฑ Digital safety & fraud risks
๐งพ Legal documentation & contracts
๐จ Emergency response & reporting systems
๐ง Emotional resilience & decision-making
But most of these are never formally taught.
The result?
Confusion. Anxiety. Mistakes. Shame. Financial loss. Loss of trust.
๐ What This Board Covers
This board documents:
๐ Real user interview insights
๐ Pain points & red flags young adults face
๐ Emotional and psychological barriers
๐ System-level breakdowns
๐ Trust gaps in digital and offline systems
๐ Opportunity areas for intervention
It captures the lived experiences of young adults navigating housing, safety, scams, verification systems, and reporting structures.
๐ง Key Insight
The gap is not about intelligence.
It is about lack of structured transition support.
Young adults are educated academically,
but not trained in:
๐ก Vision
To design a structured Safety & Independence Learning Module that:
Uses real-life simulations
Is government-verified or trust-backed
Provides step-by-step action guides
Reduces shame around reporting
Builds system confidence
The goal is not just awareness โ
but preparedness and empowerment.
๐ Why This Matters
Education prepares students for exams.
Life prepares them for consequences.
This board is the first step toward bridging that gap.
