All around us we see people earning lots and lots of money.There are individuals who are not half as educated as we are yet they are earning loads of money while the educated lot is going after jobs and a regular paychecks.Sometimes I think it would have been better if I wasn't educated.Then I would have been able to do what I can't at this particular point of time and earn more money and fulfill all my material needs.We all go for education as it empowers us to earn money however there are people who are not at all educated yet they are earning more than the educated lot.Have you read the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kawasaki?The present day situation around me reminds me of that particular book and I seriously think that I made a mistake by educating myself.What are your thoughts?

I think its the other way around. Money is the hindrance to education because you can't study without money (unless your very smart :)). Nowadays, schools has high tuition fees and miscellaneous fees and it keeps getting higher every year. So our parents works hard to earn more money for our education. Education is the key for us to land a better job and earn enough to have a secure living.

Are you 100% sure my dear friend that the kind of education that is imparted to us in schools and colleges will enable us to land a decent enough job? If that had been the case then can you tell me why there are so many educated unemployed youths all around the globe?Even if we are educated then what's the guarantee that we will be able to drive a ferrari or a bmw or a land rover?Whereas there are individuals my dear friend who haven't been to school,didn't undergo any formal training and yet they are owning ferraris, bmws and land rovers. Now what's your take on that one?

This quote from Jim Rohn can help enlighten you, "Formal education will make you a living, self education will make you a fortune."

education is not a hindrance but a tool to earn money. Choosing the right education for you is very important. If you want to be an engineer you should take an engineering course not a medicine course. If you made the wrong choice of education this way you will not have an easy time working...
