moral of the lesson, dont hope or expect that what you learnt in school must pay. most rich people today didn't achieve success from what they studied in school but what they could offer after graduating. dont despise the days of your little beginning.
There is nothing bad when you porsue academic performance to get some certificate but it's when you go to school to get money is what I really dislike. Going to school because you think after graduating, you are going to be richer or it's a way to run away from poverty is very bad thing to do, there is every chance that you will get nothing at the end of the day, you might get something doing to give you food but you are not going to be rich for going to school.
If you want to be rich, invest. There are people that are rich today, they didn't go to school to ever in their life but they have established business that has employed student that went to the four walls of the education system that has failed them. You want to be rich, use money to get more money through reasonable risks and not all sort of ponzi schemes that will run away with your money quickly because people that have ambition to become rich quickly end up in scam groups.
