Educating children to make money

Is that a right decision, educating children to make money?
Our error society caused of Indonesia's population growth lags far behind compared to neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Singapore, because since our children are not well educated and trained to think how can make money by selling something.

Generally, many parents ask their children to learn well though later it can work in government agencies, are offering higher salaries to their employees. Almost.. very few parents who want their children to trade, sell, working independently, after graduating school. So, after school graduating, nearly all the younger generation rollicking applying for a job. Very little is directly open their own business. If ever there was one, usually because of difficulties in getting any kind of jobs, so they have to open their own business.

This is a big mistake to the people of Indonesia, so we do not go-forward. Our society is always bound poverty due to the mindset or paradigm of thinking about the education of their children. This must be changed. Since childhood, they must be accustomed to seek the independent. They are trained, how can make money without depending on others.

Give the Commission

Maybe this is a very good example, a friend of mine, who indeed has had a mind developed to achieve prosperity for themselves, their families, and society. What is interesting is the way he was looking for course participants. He does not have to look for themselves, but recruit high school students from many schools.

Students who successfully invite other students to join in the institution he led English courses given the commission a percentage of course fees. For example, the course fee of Rp 50,000 per month, then the student who has to invite other students taking a course will be given a commission of Rp 20,000.
If he managed to invite 10 friends, then he will receive a commission of Rp 200,000. And so on.

According to him, there are two advantages in a way that he's looking for course participants apply.

First, he does not need to seek their own prospective students who are willing to take a course at the institution. By recruiting such, he automatically has a lot of marketers. This practice has generally run in the online business. Owners of products usually offer to the members to become an affiliate or reseller, with a commission (fee) to 70 percent. As a result, very unusual.

Secondly, he (my friend) may train students to earn money, which means helping ease the burden on parents. Students who are concerned will also be used to always think how can make money themselves. So, they will have skills in business.

Out of school, they get used to engage in business activities. Do not worry about being unemployed. In fact, the future is expected to create jobs. Good practice in this way, including for parents in educating their children. Parents do not educate their children to be requesting the work, but job creators. People who can create jobs or business will quickly succeed than just as a worker.
