You bring up valid points and I agree with you on all fronts. The antiquated rules of get good grades, get a good job and work really hard for someone else is broken and has been for some time. Working 40 hours a week for 40-50 years and then hoping you're able to retire, that is insanity to me. A job is simply trading your time for money. The wealthy know this and simply leverage the average person's time (their employees) to accomplish their goals and dreams, while they spend their time enjoying their life. Steemit is the first social media platform where financial and personal development education is prominent and openly discussed and promoted. Steemit is and will change peopels lives more and more every day, I feel very fortunate to have found it and feel obligated to pay it forward to let others know. Great post as always!
