If you are watching this video, you are lucky because you are among the 50% of the people
who have the access to internet, in fact if you can afford the internet, you are probably
richer more than most of the worlds population.
The wealth has always been distributed unequally for one reason or another but today the gap
between the rich and the poor is absolutely mind-blowing, the top 8 richest man are as
wealthy as the half of the worlds population.
In other words, 8 people have equally the same wealth as 3 billion people combined!
Of course these people are rich for different reasons, some of them are simply lucky because
they were born in certain families, but most of them have hustled to get to the position
that they are today!
But what are the chances you will become that rich, maybe not a billionaire but at least
a millionaire, well you perfectly know the answer (very low).
Definitely it mainly depends on you but wether you realised that or not, the world around
you is designed in such a way that it constantly pushes you to stay poor.
I am not here trying to sell you a conspiracy theory, that behind the scenes there are a
small group of super powerful people who control every single thing thats happening in the
world and they are keeping you poor.
Thats not the point
The whole problem is in the way our society is designed.
To be more precise, its about our educational system.
I am not only talking about the college, but the primary school as well.
In the entire period of time that we spend in school and college, we are trained to be
productive skilled workers!
Because thats the kind of people that companies are looking for.
And thats where the problem lies in, the job of the educational system is to produce employees
and not entrepreneurs, people who will work for another company and not create a new company.
In fact thats why schools and colleges where created in the first place.
During the industrial revolution, in 18th and 19th century, the technology improved
like never before and factories started emerging.
But most people could not do the factory jobs since more than 80% of the pupation at that
time were farmers, so people needed to be trained in order to
be able to do the jobs that these factories were offering, and thats how the modern educational
system began!
Over time, the system has been improved, primary school became compulsory and so on, but the
main concept is still the same, to produce workers who can do the jobs that companies
are offering!
This is not entirely bad, you can have a pretty good life as an employee, you can even earn,
hundred, or even 200 or 300 thousand dollars as a doctor, lawyer or engineer but your income
will always depend on your employer and you wont even be financial free, because the moment
you lose that job, you lose everything!
the point of this video isn't about convincing you that school and college are absolutely
useless, thats not true, school is the place we learn how to read and write in the first
place.
But the problem is that, when considering everything, its clear that the school and
college are not there to teach you the leadership skills that will help you to become a business
owner!
This system drives you into the cycle that keep you poor forever!
Just think about it!
Once you are done with the primary school, you cannot achieve anything in life unless
you get a college degree, but to get that, you need to take a loan and spend 3 to 4 years
learning how to work for someone else in order to pay back your debt.
But once you are out of college, you must have a house and a car, of course you cant
afford that, because you haven’t even paid your student loan, but thankfully we have
banks who generous enough to help us.
They are ready to give us more loans but we need a sustainable source of income to ensure
the banks that they will get their money back, in other words, we need to get a job!
And thats the trap, now you cant simple leave that job, because how else you will be paying
your student loan, mortgage and other loans (car)!
Of course you are not forced to do any of these, but in the primary school, your mindset
is shaped to believe you must go to college and there you are taught to always depends
ton a job !
and now its your turn, what do you think?
Do you agree with this argument or there are something we are missing?
