To paraphrase Borat - college is "a sexy party time" that is fully worth the price of admission. Just don't put too much stock in that degree because once you graduate that's when the real education starts.
The most important thing you can learn is how to learn; how to do self-guided R&D to come up with your own solutions. Some people need the college years to get to that point, others are ready even before they finish high school. |
Yep. Very well stated. I found that it's much better to get a degree in whatever it is that you want to run the business based around (comp-sci in my case), and actually DO the job for a bit so that you really understand what it is that your workers will be doing... and then start your company.
And I agree. My previous (and final) boss was the owner of a small business, and an MBA. I don't expect his company to be around much longer because he is running it into the ground trying to maximize his short term profit.
