I came across this tweet, so the reference is the username. I thought it was a topic worth bringing up for discussion to see the choice that will be made by forum members. This topic is about solving problems as a service you render to make a living. Which of the problems will you prefer to solve as a service you render? the problems of the poor? or the problems of the rich? (support your choice with a reason)

I posted this here because it relates to choices we make concerning how we want our finance to be, if this is a wrong place and the topic fits better in "politics and society", I will be happy to move it there.

It's a dumb statement for a start. Firstly, rich people problems are nothing like the poorest and they usually revolve around legislation designed to regulate their activity for the better of everyone - which are not really problems at all. Nor is helping "poor" people necessarily a good thing, I'd love to help genuine people stuck in trouble but not people who willfully waste money. The best you can do is try to educate future generations how to wisely use money and how to get the best value education possible for them. University can be good, but I think they have maybe been a bit too commercialized because there are too many worthless courses out there that send the students into staggering debt without much opportunity to use them well.
