There is a need - Rich Dad LessonsDo you know what’s the most dangerous advice you can give a child? It is this: “Go to school, get good grades and look for to safe secure job”. That is an old advice that was good for a short time but nowadays, in a fast-changing society, trusting in job security is surely a madness.

However, this advice is still given by 90% of the parents in the world at any moment of their children’s life. And this advice is also given by the schools that educate their students by teaching this mentality: “Get good grades and look for to safe secure job.”

Schools are antiquated. The same happens with governments. They have not been able to maintain the quick rhythm of the changes in the information and knowledge society. And that has had, has and will continue to have very serious consequences for people around the world.

There is a need. The need to change the educational system in order to adapt it to today’s world, so students realize the job security is a myth. Besides that, the students should make an effort to learn how to control their destiny without depending on the government or a company. The schools should teach financial education to people, especially about accounting and investment topics.

However, how can the teachers teach what they have not studied? They are employees and they were educated to put the future in other people’s hands. How can they teach financial education when they have a paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle? How can they teach what they don’t know?

I am not saying education is not important. Parents should make an effort in order to pick the best school for their children and they should encourage their children to choose a career. But also, it is necessary to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit by preparing the children mentally, so eventually they can become business owners and learn how to invest money wisely in real assets instead of spending on silly luxuries or knick knacks that they don’t really need.

Also, I am not saying that having a job is a bad thing, but a job should be an opportunity to learn something or raise an initial capital. Life should not depend on a job. When we finish school or college, it is necessary to learn or practice some subjects as sales, or skills for a business, or interpersonal relationships. Sometimes, getting a job could be a way to improve those abilities. But spending some years learning a lot in an employment is different than working for others all your life and hoping that your boss will take care of you, always.

There is a need if you want to have a better financial life. It is the need to change the mind and play by smart rules in the money world, not by established rules where you have to work as an employee all your life.

The job security is financial slavery. Freedom to control your destiny is better for building a solid financial future.
