"Go to school to get a good, high-paying job." Few parents or teachers are saying, "Go to school to learn to create good, high-paying jobs."
There is a tremendous difference between the skill sets of an employee and the skill sets of an entrepreneur. The skills required to be an entrepreneur are not taught in most schools.
Dr. Luntz found that over 70% of full-time, corporate employees are considering or have considered starting their own businesses. Many people dream of becoming entrepreneurs, but few will take the leap of faith. The lack of financial education is the primary reason why most people will remain employees. Without a financial education, most employees are terrified of losing their job, not having a steady paycheck, or simply failing.
Financial education and the transformation it delivers are essential for entrepreneurs. Americans have always wanted to be entrepreneurs. People immigrated to America-some enduring unimaginable hardships-attracted by the promise of the American Dream.
