People have to study more & more to be on the top 55, why ? Because just to know what is already known you have to study 30 years. if you want to invent something extra it’s better to get to know what we already have
Today in the developed world the average per person(just to be normal) is 18 years of studies!
perhaps the best advice as usual is be different!
