The Real World - A follow up to 'If You Had Nothing...'

If you answered
(A), rich dad would say you are programmed to be an employee.
(B) he would say you were programmed to be an entrepreneur.
(C) rich dad would say you were programmed to be an investor and entrepreneur.

Rich dad also said, "Most people are programmed from birth to go and look for a job. In fact they go to school to reinforce that programming. If you want to be able to respond with the latter two answers, you will need a different form of education, a form of education he called education for the reall world.
The following excerpt got me thinking...
"Most think they do," says rich dad, "but if the truth be told, most people today do their best to hide from the real world."..."There are many ways people hide from the real world...other than job security. Most people today spend their lives running from sanctuary to sanctuary, sanctuaries that protect them from the real world. For example, many people leave the sanctuary of home, and go to the sanctuary of college. After graduation, many run to the sanctuary of a job or profession. If they get married, then they create a sanctuary for their family, and the process continues with people running from safe sanctuary to safe sanctuary. When people lose their job, they often dust off their resume and run in search of another sanctuary...or if they get divorced, many run in search of another person to create a home sanctuary with."
Do I have the courage to face the real world?
