One thing I have noticed about education is that from primary school to university, we spend years solving problems. Every exam is essentially a test of our ability to identify a problem and provide a solution.
Perhaps the most valuable thing education teaches us is problem-solving. However, somewhere along the way, many of us leave school and stop looking at society through the lens of problems that need solutions.
Wealth is often created when people identify a problem affecting many people and provide a valuable solution. The entrepreneur solves a market problem, the engineer solves a technical problem, the doctor solves a health problem, and the investor allocates capital to solve economic problems.
The challenge is not that education failed to teach us how to solve problems; rather, many of us were trained to solve examination problems instead of real-world problems. Exams reward correct answers, while the marketplace rewards valuable solutions.
Financial freedom often comes when we shift from asking, "How do I pass the next test?" to asking, "What problem can I solve for society, and how can I create value from that solution?"
In that sense, education is not the destination. It is a tool that equips us with the ability to think, analyze, and solve problems. Wealth is often the by-product of applying those skills to real needs in the real world.
