I don't totally disagree with the notion that college has become more like a training ground for careers as employees, especially given the fact that the quality of education nowadays has been wanting. The goal now for more schools is no longer to mold, train and teach the students but rather to obtain more enrollees than the next school. But at the same time, it's also because majority of today's students (us) do not want to be challenged. When we fail a certain subject or course, we simply drop out/switch courses and blame the teachers or the school. It's now more for the 'experience' of college and not what it can do to bolster your career as professionals. Not to sound like a condescending jack-ass but lot of us are L-A-Z-Y. We always want the easy way out, a quick fix.

College, if done right, is still the best way to a successful career. We keep taking success stories like that of Bill Gates' out of context and think that we all can share his fate. Unless you have his intellect, sorry to burst your bubble but that's not going to happen. Unless you are very sure you know what you're doing (like what some of you are suggesting, with the stocks and businesses and others), follow the old NBA commercial's advise: "Stay in school. It's your best move." Even the scions of the wealthy are being sent to school so they can learn more and handle the business better than their forebears. There are a lot more stories of people who grew up poor but strove hard in college and became self-made men than those who skipped college and made their own path to success. Lightning rarely strikes the same place twice, so just because a certain John/Jane Doe dropped out of college and got rich doesn't mean we can all follow his blueprint. There's nothing wrong with starting out as employees. There's a lesser chance of getting promoted if you don't have a degree. Business sounds easy to do but believe me (because I've experienced it), if you don't know how to manage your finances/don't have any business background you will end up consuming your funds and end up burned. It takes talent and know-how.

The harder you work, the luckier you get.

(Don't buy Kiyosaki's education-bashing sweet talk. It's good that he's trying to empower people and convince them to start their own businesses but like I said not everyone knows how to manage a business. How do you learn? Simple, go to school! Kiyosaki tells you to stop being an employee, which is easy to say if you charge $200/session per person and sell books which teach you practically nothing about how to manage your own business. As a motivator he's pretty good, but unless he can come up with a How To Get Rich For Dummies that actually works, don't believe the hype. Don't be too gullible. School is still the way to go, that's where you meet people who can help you out in your business venture.)
