They do! If you followed a serious path of study at a university. You would, however, have to major in business (entrepreneurship) and triple minor: finance, administration, and economics--not just the beginning courses, or one course in each, but the higher level courses that require 3-4 classes in each. On top of that, you will have to have computer science skills, be proficient in mathematics (algebra), be an excellent speaker/communicator to make deals and sell your ideas to the public (Speech 101), know who you are dealing with (psych 101/ sociology 101), know who you are and where you came from (Western Civ), understand how to deal with people from different cultures (Humanities), and how to speak to people in other countries (French, Spanish, German, etc). (Japanese or Chinese would be excellent languages to learn). You will need to know how to write reports and do evaluations, so English is important; you don't want people thinking you can't spell or write a proper sentence. Finally, and most importantly, you will need to be honest, just, and decent, so people will deal with you and you won't end up getting crushed by something as ridiculous as Enron, right? So, I recommend courses in philosophy, starting with Ethics. Now, do you see what college really does for you? It works on the whole person, perfecting the rough edges, so when you do master the business and money side, you will be refined enough to carry it all off. Donald Trump is the most down to earth billionaire I have ever seen; even he will tell you, "A college education is important; I respect a college education." Just go to college and stick with it. If you want to be rich, you can be. If you just want to survive college, then you can do that too. If you want something bad enough, you will do what it takes to get it!

Because then everyone would take the class, and thus use the same techniques to get rich.
When that happens, the techniques will obviously become less effective, thus all that work will have been wasted.
Or the other scenario: since the "becoming rich" course is so popular, colleges have to drop other courses and make it more difficult to get into college to take the course. Therefore, mostly only rich people will make it into college, which will further draw the line between rich and poor, and establish defined social classes. That's not what America's about!

because the point of liberal arts education isn't to get rich, it is to be well educated. if being rich is your concern, you don't really need to go to college. If you put all the time and effort into working at a job and moving up that people put into school, you would make a fine amount of money.
