Studies.
Don’t get me wrong here. I enjoy learning, and educating myself. What I hate is programmed study, especially where it comes with a “it’s good for you” and “it’ll make you better off in the future”.
But most formal education doesn’t prepare you for life. It just tries to fool you into believing that you will do better financially with certain choices.
You may, or may not. But luck probably has a bigger part to play, in that. And unless your knowledge and expertise are of the one in a million genius level, it’s more of people skills and EQ that matters. Not your IQ, and certainly not that bit of rote learning.
