This chapter has basically just been screaming that if you want to make a good living, going to college and acquiring skills is the best way to start. If you want to be an important aspect to the economy and make the money you want to earn, you have to make an investment in yourself by putting yourself through college to gain those special skills that others don't. I was super intrigued by Mr. Abouali's thinking in that the sooner he can get his son through college, the more secure he will be. Now in America that thinking may not make as much sense but when you think about it in terms of countries that aren't as stable, it's incredibly smart. If Mr. Abouali's son can get his degree and his skills then he can go almost anywhere and find a job, plus giving him a way easier chance to be able to immigrate to a different country because he has a special skill that has a greater demand. Now it's not just the fact that you can make more income but you're overall smarter and can contribute to the world in a more informed way like Wheelan said. If we can get more people educated then they can educate their children better then they were, causing each generation to be more informed which can only hope the world. So it seems that the best way to help fix low income countries is education. The more educated people can only lead to a better of society as a whole.
