I’ve talked about the high price of a degree before but in this case I’m responding to Vanessa Lau’s post about entrepreneurship.

I agree with her. As she says, “Many successful entrepreneurs, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckenberg, didn’t even complete their degrees, and look at them now!  You can even google the list of billionaire drop outs, and the list goes on and on.” 

So the question remains, what makes a Business Man successful? I, for one, do not think that it has to do with the degree. You can have all the degrees you want but that doesn’t make you a quality business person. It’s all about the idea and willingness to see it through to the end. I bet a lot of us in Sauder are at University for the sake of getting a degree. We’re not particularly passionate about business. We’re just going through the motions of getting a boring a degree then getting a boring job.
