This short YouTube monologue by Jayson Lowe argues that formal schooling prepares people to be employees but fails to teach how to be a business owner or how to manage money. Lowe emphasizes he was not taught how to work with, control, save, or understand money during his education and views that as a critical gap.
I think that one thing that school cannot teach you is how to be a business owner. I think that the education system does a great job of preparing people in terms of where you actually learn how to think, and you learn how to, for lack of better description, how to become an employee. And I just don't think the education system, at least not in my journey with education. Nobody taught me how to be a business owner. Nobody taught me how to work with money, how to understand money. And so the one thing that I believe school cannot teach is how to be a business owner and equally as important, how to work with money, how to handle it, how to control it, how to save it, how to work with it, how to.
