In our country, this is the most common tradition or belief. While we're young, we were taught to study hard and finish schooling, and get a stable job. Because once we have already acquired a stable job, we will start earning and improve our lives. And create consistent progress, until we end up getting rich and enjoy the best things in life.
But I don't think we are getting align with it. Instead of working to earn and get rich, why are majority now end up struggling in life? Honestly, what I'm seeing right now is that we work to survive, not to make money and get rich in the process. Could this be the real possibility of life? Or we are just blinded by fantasies in life? Or is it because working alone is never sufficient enough to make riches in life, but we need various investments to achieve success and get wealthy in the long run?
I know different opinions and ideas may arise, but I'll be more willing to read and reflect each of it.
The truth is that going to school is a very good idea and as a graduate you can equally get a good job with your qualification and thereby enjoy good life, but the bitter truth is that, the number of available job in our country is not enough to accommodate the number of people graduating from school every year.
This is the more reason why you see so many graduates struggling to survive because their is no available job for them and very few have the idea of starting a business on their own.
When it comes to becoming wealthy, as an employee of a company, it is very difficult to become wealthy, you can live a good life and take care of your responsibility, but becoming wealthy can be a difficult task, the reason being that you are working for somebody, and you are paid from the profit that your employer makes at the end of the week or month.
Looking round the whole world, the wealthy people are mostly those who work for themselves, the employers and the entrepreneurs or investors who have made great effort to esterblish themselves, and not merely employees of companies.
