Benefit from Higher Education?

[Fiatless]

I wonder if higher education will help for entrepreneurship?
I am more interested in how much theory will help in this, because during a long study we do not get practice, this will be possible only when we start doing business, until that moment we will not be able to know how much it will help us.

This can help us if we need a license, but in some cases it can be obtained without a higher education.

Statistically, 95% of entrepreneurs have a bachelor's degree or higher and I wonder, for those of you who are involved in entrepreneurship, how useful was higher education for you?

Higher education is not a criteria to become a successful entrepreneur. Education might expose one to different business principles and theories that can be applied in business. Higher education can also be a medium of learning from the business experience of some people which might be beneficial in starting and running business.

But the most important education for entrepreneur is practice and experience. Learning through apprenticeship, training and  development is what every entrepreneur needs more. Businesses will be well runned if business owners acquire practical knowledge and not just theories.

It is unlikely that this ratio is correct.  Business owners and projects belong to different classes of society, including those with higher degrees and even those who were not fortunate enough to complete their studies or obtain higher degrees. 
Personally, I consider that higher degrees are not in all cases useful for launching a business project, and by examining business owners who hold degrees, we will discover that their business field is completely different from their university specialization.

Higher education isn’t a yard stick for business to grow but people in businesses today tend towards recruiting educated fellows into there businesses or themselves going back to school to seek the knowledge even when they look successful in the business. This act is done because the world is evolving everyday with new technologies and only professionals could help in bring new innovations into the businesses.

A wise man once said:

"The only way to get smarter, is by playing a smarter opponent."

What does that tell you?

It tells you that if you engage with, talk to, play with, make friends of smarter people than yourself, you can become a smarter person. And smarter people usually go to college. That's where you'll find them.

If you talk to dumb people, they will affect you in a bad way and in the end you will get dumber and dumber. Interacting with dumb people is like wrestling with a pig. The pig likes it even though both of you will get dirty.

Do you want to get dirty? Then you are a pig.

Also another smart man once said:

"Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered."

Do you want to get slaughtered?

Bruce Dickinson once said:

"Bring your daughter to slaughter."

Who the fuck would do that?

Education is prerequisite for proper understanding of how business works or rather how the word works. You gain huge experience from the direct / practical approaches, and no one can disagree on that. However, you can not do it or furnish the knowledge with proper guidance which comes from the education.

Obviously the education that you will pursue has to be same as that of your business nature or at least it should directly associated with the finances and marketing.

The last two are pillars of the successful business. If someone is strong at it then they could pick up good pace at business.

Higher education can add a knowledge to you how a way to run your business differently from your competitors who are in the same line of business with you in the sense that it will take your imagination so wide that you have to see beyond the normal business,because in any business to flourish well innovation must be involved that innovation knowledge can only come from a man/woman who has pass through the four walls of a higher education environment be it business school or university.
  I believe education has major part in entrepreneurship because been non educated will make you lose most of your top customers because your attitude and understanding towards your customers makes him /she comfortable in transacting with you , to have these abilities one must get the experience from theory ideas from someone who have build up that kind of business or some thing similar to it so understanding the process and turn it to output to relate with customers and finding new ways to market your product to me I believe higher education has a good role to play for to be a good successfully business person.

Entrepreneurship generally comes with experience and mostly as an inborn talent as well. It's hard to learn it through theory however as an entrepreneur you should know everything be it finance, be it geography, be it current affairs, be it taxes. So obviously learning these things through theory is important. The proper way is to learn these things through theory and then implement practically all these things in your business to gain experience.

Richest man in my country is not graduate yet he is able to have work at very young age since they have no means of schooling that time and needs to survive living, he then created his small business that somehow grew because of his determination.Education is important but if we’re not capable of doing it due to our situations then we need to think of ways to uplift ourselves and be better. Experience can be the best teacher, this what is good in doing business when we know what we do and cares on it we will be able to make it grow despite of no distinct education. Same with crypto even we don’t have have higher education on it as long as we understand how it works we can get profit on it.

Entrepreneurship is more of practical than theory. Any successful entrepreneur did not learn such in the higher institution.
What the  higher institution does is to refine the mind of the young enterprenue and set them in the right direction?
Entrepreneur is more of mindset from childhood and ability to take risk.

so in order to be successful in your entrepreneural adventure, you need to add a part of knowledge from the high institution and what you have inbuilt in you as acquired by your mindset or your environment.

I believe specialization helps, and the higher the specialization is the more advance a person's knowledge both on theory and practical aspect.  And I believe formal education offers a higher education on entrepreneurship, so with that I can say higher education helps.

There are lots of majors in university, and only some of it has a connection with entrepreneurship so don't be surprised if only a little percentage of the graduates are entrepreneurs.  And have you ever thought that if all people are entrepreneurs, who will do other jobs? As of the importance or usefulness of higher education, all I can say is that knowledge is very important, so having a higher education will always be beneficial to its specific field.

You need skills and experience. Everything you read is not going to help you if you can't apply those knowledge in anywhere. Having a degree to be successful in life is in the past. That's what boomers think. If you have any skill, or you are good at something, then teach yourself that. Don't waste your time on a degree. You will become the part of the system and a mindless robot working 9 to 5 jobs.
Hone your skills and spread your creativity.

The purpose of higher education is to help you to be able to better organize and convey your thoughts. You may not have studied business but the fact that you are educated will give your business some form of organization and exposure if you decide to become an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is not restricted to only people who studied business but it is something that someone with a normal education can venture into and maybe decide to get a degree in business to give their business more edge. Some people are naturally blessed and business/entrepreneurship is their thing, that is they do well in business. If those person decide to add some education, say business education and management, they will become better business people.

If you’re into business, this can help you build your reputation on a same industry but not all appreciate your background because they are more focus on the performance of your Business and not with your education. Though, having this one can be a big help especially if you are working in a company, they see the value of education and mostly you’ll get promoted by having such degree or even higher. Some are still succeeding despite of the absence of education, i believe that’s a pure hard work.

Education is quite useful especially for am entrepreneur who wish to do better in business. Indeed, most of the entrepreneur today are degree holders. Education has a huge impact on bitcoin trading investment. Because if you are not educated it will be very difficult to understand bitcoin trading investment because education will widen your knowledge about bitcoin. You have to be educated to excel in whatever business you are doing. It does not necessary mean that you can't do business without being educated. It simply means that for you to do better in business, you have to be educated to have a clear understanding and knowledge about business.

In this era, education seems to be a mandatory requirement and even a necessity. those who have a high degree or who have a series of degrees that a person bears, are likely to get greater opportunities and opportunities than those with lower education, especially those without education. therefore it is not surprising, in this day and age education is often referred to or classified as an investment activity. although education is very important in one's success, but this is not a guarantee. especially if the education that has been passed does not have added value or improve the quality of our own human resources.

well, referring to what you said. it all comes back to each of us, or it can be said how much you can take advantage of the potential you have armed with the higher education degree you have. everyone will have their own journey, and it depends on how the quality of your human resources is involved in the business or entrepreneurship that you are running.

Actually it doesnt really need that higher education or degree because someone could immediately start up or put himself into entrepreneurship if he/shes really that pursuing this kind of career.
It is really just that its not really that simple for you to start with considering that this mostly be focused about marketing some products and services which would really be needing on hooking
up people to avail out on what you are trying to offer.Be your own boss and dont work for someone because you cant really be able to pull off yourself on achieving if ever you
do have a dream on being successful.You wont really be able to see it unless you do try.

When post persons don't patronise the part of a higher institute of learning to be a part of there success, I greatly wonder as to how little they think of the process. Somehow, we limit it to getting some sort of employment in some place and thinks that's the ultimate about it but, that in itself could be wrong.

One thing a higher institution of learning or education can give you is exposure. It's almost like a community of its own where you've got, diverse persons from different ethnicity and moral standards.  You get to learn from what they know, how they live there life's and when it comes to job, you get the exposure you need to take opportunities where you find them or even create the opportunity yourself.

Education do play a role in whatever we do.

Still, we need education to have a better foundation for everything we do.  Having a degree can give us an advantage to have possible jobs to ensure us of funds which we can later on invest to whatever business we wanted to create.  Higher education can also give us an edge over our competitors because we can learn more things about organization, and planning and we are able to study different theories that can be applied in real life. or get familiar if we ever encounter such a situation.

Having a degree isn't a waste of time, IMO.  It will only become a waste if we do not apply what we have learned.

Education isn just a mandatory requirement, it is an essential part of development and upgrades.

I think it's common sense to have higher education nowadays, many keep saying that education is waste of time but it isn't honestly, with education it might give you more opportunities in your career.
even though you could learn everything nowadays for free online but I'd say there's nothing wrong in having degree, the world revolves around having higher education means your worth also increase.
you could try going against the wave but you will definitely encounter many difficulties, such as the fact that many jobs nowadays requires higher education, I mean what's the chance of someone being accepted into a job if they don't have higher education compared with the one that's at least have bachelor degrees.
if you have the money and the chance of obtaining the higher education then you should, don't waste that chance.

[juhobtc]

Thanks for your answers!
From what I read, I can conclude that the majority considers higher education necessary, but I could not see which of you are real entrepreneurs with higher education and who are not. I assume that the statistics of 95% as a whole will be saved.

I really liked the example where a person with a good knowledge base can be hired for further training and employment, but I'm still more interested in entrepreneurial activity, since work requires a boss, and I like it when no one tells me what to do, when I can plan and do everything myself, without anyone's instructions.

Theory gives you the opportunity to understand the mechanisms of work that you will need in the future.Theory and the knowledge gained are like the rules of the game that you need to remember and understand.But the skills that you will receive in the future are only your concern and practice and the skills will envy only you. Depending on how you will cope with real tasks.
