Thanks for reading!
Fortunately money trumps all this, if you can figure out how to make money you don't need an education. The so called highly educated people are the ones who, more often than not, find themselves working in some capacity for people who didn't finish college, dropped out, or never went at all.
It's because it's those people that have the creativity necessary to think independently, and make decisions that go against the grain. At this point education is just a production line for worker drones, and you never get rich by working.
Exactly, education is well suited for people who just want to follow. It's based on the Prussian model which like you say a production line for worker drones.
P.S. Have you ever heard of the Early Retirement Extreme blog? I think it might be really up your street.
Yes, I have the book it's been a while since I read it but my overwhelming gist out of the book is to save as much as possible, keep expenses low, and you can be independently wealthy relatively young. Seems like common sense but as they say, thats not really common; either way, I'm definitely on that road.
