Is our School Educational System a Good Investment?


By NiceGoodSpeed

Have you ever wondered you spend several years in school, paying high tuition fees then you end up working with a salary not enough to pay almost 20 years of your education, well unless you got scholarship in college. The worst is, you cannot use all the things you’ve learned in school in your job. Statistically, they said, if you start working after your graduation, your ‘Return of Investment’ is when you reach 30 years old, assuming you work as an employee. The question here is when can you start investing for your home, car, etc?

I’m not against education but the thing is our school system is obsolete. It was originally designed for Industrial Age, where working hard only is still applicable. The rules have changed according to Robert Kiyosaki. We are now in the Information Age where working hard only is not enough. The school does not teach us on how to invest, or how to manage money.

There are seminars, books, groups (like the create abundance business community) etc who are dedicate to teach us financial education and I suggest you start looking for them, especially if you are aiming for financial freedom later in life.
