The Start of Your Financial Journey

I agree with Robert Kiyosaki on : university isn't automatically necessary for everyone.

But I disagree with the blanket "don't go to school" message.


My view is:

Secondary education → Yes.

University → Only if the outcomes you desire require it.

Basic maths and English are foundational capabilities. Without them, even entrepreneurship becomes harder because you have a smaller domain in which you can operate independently.


There is also a major difference between these two pathways:

Education → Skills/strengths → Products & services → Income


versus


Mentor → Sales → ??? → Opportunity → ??? → Income


The second pathway can absolutely work, but the question marks matter.

What opportunity?

In what domain?

Based on what expertise?

What exactly are you selling?


From my own experience, education can provide a domain in which your strengths can be converted into economic value.


For example:

Mathematics → analytical skills → products/services → income

So I wouldn't say:

"Go to university."

And I wouldn't say:

"Don't go to university."


I'd say:

Don't pursue education blindly. Pursue the capabilities required for the outcomes you want.


Sometimes that means university.

Sometimes it doesn't.

The question isn't "Should I go to university?"

It's:

"What am I trying to become capable of doing, and what is the best way to acquire those capabilities?"
