The Normal, Accepted, and Standard Process of Education and Professional Career
We all go to a school, pay our fees and give our time and effort to study and pass out.
Most of us then go to a college or a professional institution, pay our fees and give our time and effort to specialize and get a degree.
And then some of us go to a university or a higher professional institution, pay our fees and give our time and effort to further specialize or get degrees in higher education.
This is the normal and accepted process of education that the majority of people follow.
So getting an education and professional training can take away a good 15 to 20 years of our early life with a high financial cost and effort.
Then there are some who drop out from school or college or university and start their own trade or business either of their own or with the help of their family and friends.
There are many who complete their graduation from college and go for higher education in a university or undertake their professional training as an MBA from a professional institution to either join their family business or start their own business or take up an office job or join academia to start their professional career.
There are also many who after working in office jobs or after working in academia for some time find themselves growing as their income levels keep rising regularly and with time find themselves in positions of power and authority.
In academia, there are people who get promoted from a lecturer to a professor and then to the head of the department and some get promoted to a provost or dean or president or even to a vice-chancellor position.
In an office job or in the corporate world people are promoted from a team leader to a manager to a senior manager and then to a director, vice president, president, and even to the CEO of an organization.
Similar kinds of promotions happen in the military and in the government as well.
This is considered to be the mainstream where this kind of professional life and career growth is accepted and recognized by our society.
The Problem in the Actual Reality of a Professional Life
But my heart goes out to those people who are honest, sincere, and hardworking and have been a part of this very same education system where they have invested their time and money to pass out from good schools, colleges, and universities and have also got their professional degrees and diplomas, finding themselves left behind and forgotten.
After working for years after years, changing many jobs and organizations, their income levels do not really seem to grow and rise.
They are not promoted or given a better job profile, instead find themselves ruled, mistreated, controlled, mentally tortured, and bullied by their bosses who are also employees belonging to the same education system.
They are asked to work for long hours in jobs with the lowest possible salary which their bosses would not like doing themselves like high-pressure complicated tasks, multi-tasking or working in night shifts or taking up calls and customer complaints, and doing tasks related to technical troubleshooting all at the same time or asked to go to the field to do some dirty sales work.
There is surely discrimination where these people are in a way treated as second-class citizens within the same organization.
On top of that, there is no job security as these nice, honest, sincere, and hardworking people can be let go at any time due to any reason be it personal or business reasons such as being forced to resign, sacked, layoffs, and re-engineering.
For many periods of time, they find themselves without a job in their career.
With no other support system for their rescues like a family business and personal assets, they desperately start searching for another job to start all over again in their career as a salary and a paycheck is the only source of income left for them.
I can understand the pain, the agony, the suffering, the misery, the setback, the anxiety, the fear, the uncertainty, and the crisis that these people face in such adverse situations.
This is in a way a crime done but has not been classified as an organized crime in organizations so far.
If you in any way relate or associate yourself with these situations or presently experiencing them in your career then keep reading further as I have laid out a plan, a path, and a solution that you can follow, use and implement to definitely grow, rise, thrive and promote yourself in your professional life and career.
It is broken down into three parts or phases of your professional career.
The First Phase - The School of Capitalism
If you are currently employed in any organization be it in the government or the private and corporate or in academia then your first phase of School of Capitalism has begun in your career.
Yes, you are currently admitted in a school now!
Your bosses, the management, and the leadership team are like your school teachers, examiners, and school administration.
The work that you do in your company and place of work or the duties that you have been assigned by your bosses are like the classes that you attend in school.
You need to be disciplined and you are restricted in your activities and it is absolutely mandatory that you go to your school on time and must attend all your classes. That means you need to go and log in at your office on time and work diligently at your assigned tasks for your full productive office hours.
If you fail to do so then you will be penalized and given warnings like work avoidance notices.
Whenever your bosses choose you may have one-o-one meetings with them to apprise you about your performance in your school of capitalism.
At the end of each month, you are given a report card in the form of a salary slip and your school marks are added to your bank account in the form of a salary or a paycheck.
At the end of the calendar or financial year, you are given your final assessment and feedback from your bosses based upon which your salary increments and bonuses are decided.
This is like promoting you to your next higher class in your school of capitalism with additional responsibilities and more work.
If you somehow do not like your school or want a better school then you are free to change your job to a different organization for better marks, scores, and report cards.
I recommend that you continue with this process for a few years by being a good student and by getting good marks in your school of capitalism. What I mean by this is to be a good employee in your organization and work hard to get a good salary and increments and save your money as much as possible.
At the same time, this is an opportunity for you to self-discover yourself and find your unique talents in the job market.
What I mean by this is that you must try to discover and find the kind of work that you do best, that you like doing, that is easy for you to do, have an interest and a passion in doing it, and that you are naturally good at doing that work.
This can be anything that can be related to the work that you are already doing in your organization or it can be totally different for example - singing, dancing, acting, writing, teaching, selling, designing, helping customers or clients, photography, painting, management of people, organizing events, accounting, computer programming, technical troubleshooting and so on and so forth.
If you are somehow finding it difficult to know about your unique talents then ask your friends, family, co-workers, or people who know you about what they find good, useful and helpful in you. You can also take the help of occult and hidden sciences like astrology and palmistry to find out about the work that you have been born to do.
Then start learning and practicing that in your free time and if needed take up a course to further enhance your skills.
If you intend to have your own business sometime in the future then this is the time to learn by taking up a course on how to set up a business based upon your unique skills, talents and passion.
Try to use your own salary income to join a training course or to attend seminars for your learning.
Once you find out that genius within yourself and you feel confident and good about it, it is time for you to pass out from your school of capitalism and promote yourself in your professional life and career by taking admission to your College of Capitalism.
The Second Phase - The College of Capitalism
You are automatically promoted now in your career by passing out from your school and taking admission to your college.
Here in this phase, it is your college life. You have left past your school life by resigning from your office as an employee of that organization.
College of Capitalism is all about self-employment where you are not really an employee of a company but offer your services to your clients or customers independently.
Your teachers and examiners in your college are not your bosses but your clients and customers.
The very first thing that you get in your college of capitalism is “Freedom” as you decide what, when and how to work to satisfy your clients and customers.
Freelancing and working as independent contractors are very good examples of self-employment.
Here if you work only then you are paid and if you do not work then you will not be paid. So there are no paid leaves, fixed salary, and other benefits that you normally get as an employee of an organization.
You have to self-manage yourself and your work and you are wholly responsible for the quality of work that you deliver and manage the payments that you receive from your clients for tax and other business purposes like buying your own equipment, keeping and paying your own staff/assistants and stationery.
Typically you need to have your own office or shop or clinic to conduct your trade and business.
There are three main benefits that you get by being in your college of capitalism.
1. Freedom - You are free to decide whether you want to work or not on a particular day. You do not have to reach your office on time to log in and you are free to decide how much or how little you want to work in a day. Nobody will force you to work as you choose your own time and work hours.
2. Specialization - In your school of capitalism you are supposed to do many types of work some of which you might hate doing.
But in your college of capitalism, you have chosen your own work that you love doing based upon your unique skills, talents and passion. This is like taking up your favorite subjects in college and specialize in them further to pursue your career in that specialized discipline.
3. Setting up your own Business - College of Capitalism gives you an ideal opportunity to set up and start your own business. Other than trading your time for money by being a self-employee, you have all the time in the world to start your own business.
Check out my articles “Job vs Business: This Will Help You Decide Which Is Better For You!” and “How Can You Start A Business While You Are In A Job Or Employment?" for more clarity and reasons for what I mean by setting up your own business.
Also, check out my article “How To Print Your Own Money From Your Home Like A Bank!” which is a very good example of a College of Capitalism.
Once you start successfully making money from the business that you set up, it is time to graduate from your college of capitalism and take admission to your University of Capitalism to further promote yourself in your professional life and career.
The Third Phase - The University of Capitalism
The University of Capitalism is a direct extension of your College of Capitalism in which you are primarily a Business Owner and an Investor.
The business that you start in your college of capitalism as a startup is further expanded, grown and developed here by various means and sources, like building your own business team and creating business partnerships.
This is the place and time for running a large business and corporation where you become the founder, owner and CEO of your own company and may become the chairman of the board of directors.
This is also a place where you can sell your business or buy another business as you become well-versed with the systems and the nuts and bolts of creating and running a profitable business.
You can also invest in other businesses here and become a shareholder of other companies.
The University of Capitalism is like getting a degree of “Master of Money” and further doing your Ph.D. and doctorate to earn a degree of “Doctor of Money”.
So, I hope this plan and solution will help and benefit you to be successful in your life and career. I personally follow this plan and so I know that it works.
