I am a international business major and they never taught us how to make money. They just taught us how to understand business. You have to learn about money yourself. I recommend reading Robert Kiyosaki's Rich dad poor dad.
What I realized from that book was, you will never be rich if you work for someone. Which is why I opened a retail store 6 years ago, but I closed it due to various reasons. I got a job as a sales manager. Then recently I was selling digital products on ebay and soon was making almost equal my real job. I realized the potential as I could see me making more beyond my real job and was contemplating quiting. Why would you drive, waste time there, and work 10 hours a day for the same pay you can have by just checking email and listing auctions for 3 hours a day while sitting in your house??? If you were to make $100 a day, which is total possible, many people can live comfortably.
Some interesting things I've learned from that book:
-Money is the root of all evil.
-Money makes the world go round.
-Not everyone can be rich. Because if everyone were rich, there would be no one to work. How are you going to buy a BMW when there is no one to sell it because everyone is rich so no one needs a job as a BMW salesman.
-More money will not make you happy, because the more money you make, the more you will spend. People think, "If only I had more money, I will be happy." Wrong because if you did, you will upgrade your Civic to a Camry, and if you were to have more money, you will then buy a Lexus, etc.
-Jobs pay just enough for you not to quit. People only work enough not to get fired.
-Many people think a house is an asset. Yes it is, IF you bought it cash. If however, you have a mortgage, it is owned by the bank until you finish paying it, and therefore it is a liability. Same as your car. I hate it when people refer to their car as their car, as that is technically incorrect.
