What Schools Will Never Teach You About Money By Robert T. Kiyosaki

7. “Get a good education.”
In this book you will find out why you need to question
where education will take you and who your instructors are.
For example, I enrolled in an MBA program in 1973. My 
instructors were all employees in the E quadrant. I resigned after 
six months because I realized that the two-year course of study
was programming me to become a well-paid employee in the
E quadrant. 
If you want to grow into the B and I quadrants, you need 
instructors and mentors from those quadrants.
In flight school, my first instructors taught me the basics of 
flying. The next level of instructors taught me advanced flying, 
which allowed me to graduate from flight school. My next 
instructors were combat pilots. They were a completely different 
level of instructor. I already knew how to fly, but the combat-

One tragedy of this financial crisis is that many college graduates 
are leaving school but not finding jobs. It is this real-world 
experience that is crucial to a person’s lifelong learning and 
development and defines who they ultimately become in life.
One reason why so many students leave school and are unable
Just as the monkey must let go before it can be free, humans must 
let go of old ideas before they can be free.
In this book you will learn many unconventional ideas about 
money and why the rich are getting richer. The main purpose of this 
book is to present these ideas and challenge any old ideas you might 
have in place. Then it is up to you to decide if you want to let go of 
your old ideas and begin to adopt new ideas about money.
Examples of old ideas about money are:
