Abstract

This text presents the results of a study that sought to analyze what high school students emphasize about the relationships they establish with work and the teaching of Financial Education. It consists of a qualitative study with students from a public school in the state of Santa Catarina. To collect data, interviews were conducted with young people and the data were processed according to the principles of content analysis. The results show that Financial Education in schools is not just a common subject that will soon cease to be used, but rather knowledge that will be applied throughout life and its absence can negatively impact people's lives for a long time. In this sense, the research revealed that some students believe that Financial Education subject helps them deal with everyday situations that involve knowing the value of goods, making decisions with money and managing their own finances at times, with the purpose of saving money to invest in their goals and be more aware of the future.
