“Education is the Key to Success” – Well, I TOTALLY DISAGREE. In fact, I see education as an authoritative conditioning tool which tried to lead me into economic enslavement. And mind you, I always did well in school, but finally had to leave as it was dummying me down as my business was taking off. I should have left HS my sophomore year and GED’d (General Education Development test instead of finishing HS) out, went straight to business school classes for two years and left. I’d have been way Ahead, but I was told by so many do-gooders to stay in school and be involved.

Great, and yes as Senior Class Pres, 4-year varsity, most likely to succeed, I excelled at the game, but so what, that’s HS, and it was just a prison for us 3000 kids for 4-years. Education is NOT the key to success at all. Recently I went to speak at a HS, I was blown away, as nothing had changed since the 80s, same ridiculous rows of desks, and time-wasting, brain numbing crap. I am sorry, but I will NOT parrot the party-line. We are making our little humans stupid and the longer they stay, the more they owe in student loans, and the less they can think.

Seriously – dare to challenge your naïve notion and belief system? Chicken. Go ahead; keep telling everyone the importance of our education system, but it is BS, you can learn more watching lectures online and doing things in the real world. Why has it gotten so bad you ask? Well, how about; Teachers Unions, Bureaucracy, In-fighting, top-heavy administration, wasting taxpayer’s money, status quo stodgy crap. “Education the key to success?” Nonsense, especially what people pass off as education these days. Admit it, we are producing brain-dead morons.

“But, Lance education and schooling are not the same thing,” I was then told. Well, to that I say, thanks for clarifying that. However, the public equates “Education” with school + college. I wouldn’t say “I think” the system sucks, more like “I know” what I’ve observed and there is no excuse for it. That is NOT an opinion you see, rather that is an observation which is duplicable across this great nation. If we de-couple the words; “Education” with “School” and “College” then I will accept your view of the debate at hand. But how can you de-couple real world definitions?

We can’t, that’s what education is in the minds of the people, thus the statement; “Education is the Key to Success” is invalid. Now then, if we want to say; “experience, education, observation, and the ability to think and adapt” are the keys to success, okay, I can go for that. But, as it stands now, our school system is a disgusting excuse for anything worthy of being called; education.

There are numerous types of home based businesses in existence, but they are not for everyone. Although some people are able to make a good living by working on their own at home, there are certain requirements with this industry which may not be compatible with the lifestyle of many people who like to be out and about more than being inside.

People who really work from home are usually alone most of the time. They must be the type of person who does not get cabin fever, which describes those who are unable to stay at home inside for long periods of time. They are people who are antsy and have a difficult time sitting still at home. They feel cooped up and need to get outside. This may be especially true if one lives in a small apartment rather than a larger house.

A home based business requires being able and willing to work indoors without anyone else’s company. It may mean long hours of working independently in complete solitude. Persons involved must be disciplined enough to keep working without letting other distractions take them away from the work.

Most home based businesses are flexible enough that people can get out whenever they feel a need or have things to do. That is the beauty of being able to work on your own. You are able to drop what you are doing if the need arises. You can work at your own schedule.

Network marketing (MLM or multi-level marketing) businesses may require getting out of the house. There is a lot of work which is done on the computer and possibly on the phone, but the really successful network marketers are out and talking to people. They attend and host meetings to spread the word about their company. They are looking for opportunities to tell others about their business and try to get them to join with them.

There are things to do outside of the home and places to go which can be a part of the business. However, a person needs to be willing to spend lots of time indoors alone. It takes dedication and belief in oneself. People who need to be surrounded by others may have a hard time with it. Making arrangements and finding opportunities to do work outside the home or office is possible in almost any business.

Even though those who get cabin fever easily may have a difficult time with a home based business, it is true that such a business does require interacting with people. Whether it is through the internet or phone, being willing to be involved with others is usually a necessity. People with cabin fever may find that they have the other qualities that make for success in a home based business.
