If you're a good boy or girl

[Unknown]

If you're a good boy or girl, and you put in a year of your life you just might get a 2...maybe even a 3 percent raise at the end of the year. Just do everything you boss tells you to do. Work late. Work weekends. Give up time with your friends and family. It will all be worth it when you get that extra $20 in your pay check. You might even get a new title! You're gonna make it to the top. Just 40 more years to go!

Everyone will be so proud of me when I tell them I finished 4 years of university and now I'm fully employed!

'I will be famous when I hit the top scores for my exams! I will be the best!'

Believe me, I have seen folks who subscribed to these shits end up broken (not financially broke, physically broken), burnt out and lacking control over their lives....

Another great deception I remember. "If you learn a trade you will always have work."

Almost. The statement is not complete. They forgot to finish the statement.

".....but you'll never have money."

Remember that some trades are quickly getting obsolete due to new Fastlanes and technology.
MJ mentioned that stockbrokers are getting very obsolete as you can just trade stocks with your PC.

E-commerce has brick and mortar shops brought down to their knees.

If someone comes up with advanced robotics and AIs, we might say bye-bye to manual jobs like construction, plumbing, ...

Wait...I don't need an accountant to handle my finances...I've got Quickbooks!
