      Interesting article.

      I would rate it as being "soooo true".

      Robert Kiyosaki wrote it as something like:
      go to school to get a good education to get a good job << old mentality
      go to school to get a good education, learn what they don’t teach you so that you can buy the company that gives good jobs << his new mentality

      I’m at the this intersection at the moment. Running a business that needs to build up cash to start conquering the surrounding market kiss

      • I skipped the "go to school part", which does make things a bit awkward at job-hunting time!

          To be honest. School isn’t what it is all made up to be.

          For example:

          Thomas Edison -- was it 6 months or 6 years?
          Henry Ford -- something like 3 months

          Tell prospective companies that and I’d bet that they didn’t learn that at school smiley

          I believe there is a difference between being schooled and being educated. I wish I could say that I am educated. Obviously, those 2 men above ARE educated (errr, now "were").

          So, for me don’t worry about the schooling bit smiley I like you the way you are smiley
