Following blog, is not really related to any business issues, but it’s the topic the matters for everyone, especially for commerce students, future successful entrepreneurs obviously! Recently in one of our classes we discussed the issue of education. It’s a question that arises in life of each person at least once: Does education important? Does education means successes?
First of I’d like to say that we have a degree “inflation” nowadays, even the half of a century ago degree had more meaning then now, it wasn’t that available for everyone and to get people actually had to work hard. Many people say that college graduate makes 1 million dollars more in the lifetime then a person without degree. But my questions is why it happens like that? Because these people are smarter? No, because they are motivated enough to reach success, so they would be successful even without the degree. I think business and education have the least correlation. Education is not even in the top 5 features that are required to be successful business man:
- Seeing the big picture – being a visionary is most important. If you can’t see it, you won’t shoot for it.
- Speed of Execution – taking action while others are researching.
- Never giving up; being the bull dog; finding a way to make it work.
- Being a life-long learner.
