Here is my perspective.
I think that if you're unsure of what you want to to do with your life, you should go to college until you figure it out.
I love MJ's book, but one issue I have with it is his hatred of college education and getting a job.
The millionaire fastlane claims that there are 3 financial paths: the sidewalk, the slowlane, and the fastlane. The destination is financial freedom.
If one could paint a metaphor , financial freedom is a destination that is 100 miles away. The sidewalk is like standing still. The slowlane is like walking. The fastlane is like building a bicycle or a car.
But there is one path that isn't included here. Running.
The days where people would just get a job for $15 and work that job until age 65 are gone. There are MANY scripted paths one could take to retire by age 35-40.
I know many people in their early /mid 20's making upwards of 250K. One could easily retire a millionaire by their early 30's with a pair of golden handcuffs.
Some people might think"Why?" Why would someone want to spend their youngest years working for someone else? Why wouldn't they just start a business and make a lot of money way faster?
Think about the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise goes slow and steady. The hare get's cocky, and falls behind in the race.
If you're young and don't know what to do, going to college until you figure it out can be a great plan.
Also, if your goal is to be an entrepreneur, going to college can give you access to a ton of resources that you may not have access to if you don't go.
Entrepreneurship is NOT the only path to wealth. It is an alternative path, and probably the hardest.
