Jim Rogers: Sell Your Lamborghini, Buy A Tractor

Jim Rogers : "Nobody wants to farm any more. Yet there are more people than even now. Seven billion of us. What are we going to eat? Every year, the US has something like 225,000 graduates in public relations. I think there's 20,000 agriculture graduates in the US now. Have you ever tried to eat a press release? "My advice to young people would be to get into agriculture. If you want to make money over the next 20 years, agriculture is the way to go. If you don't want to be a farmer, buy the Lamborghini dealership or a restaurant in Iowa. Why? Because the farmers in Iowa are going to be very wealthy. And they will be able to afford Lamborghinis. Fewer and fewer people are producing more and more food for more and more of us. That's only going to get worse over the next 20 or 30 years. So if you're smart, put your money into anything related to agriculture." - in Gulfnews

Jim Rogers : senior citizens in America have work ethic

Jim Rogers : “A lot of the problems we’re facing today is that people have forgotten how to work hard. It’s a generational thing. If you go to a fast food restaurant or a department store in the United States, you’ll see senior citizens working behind the counter or greeting customers. They’re doing it because they have a work ethic.”
