  1. The objective of schooling is not to learn how to make money, and yes 'never confuse school with your education'. It is to be a more aware person. Aware of the human experience and broaden the mind. So you can live independent of the shackles of societal measures like money. Plato talked about the sophists in that regard. Adam Smith or Mozart or Einstien or Anne Rice were not about money, yet their contribution to the human experience was rich. I know several people who have over 100 million, and each had a different approach. Most were educated and cultured, and none I know went for a self-help seminar approach to earning their fortune. If money is what you really want, then study the classics of Economics, for example, Ludwig Von Mises. Gain perspective about what wealth creation is about. However, chances are once you start down that path you will discover monetary measures are reasonably low on the triangle of self-actualisation.
