Benefit from Higher Education?

[S A KHAIR]

Education is still important no matter what, in school its the first ground to learn things not just for  academic but also how to get connected with society in order to have a basic interactions. For me education still important in pursuing goals in life and having a high education has a high chance to end up in your life long awaited career, no matter what industry you are fall in to.

Education is indeed the most important thing for everyone and can improve the economy in the future, it's only natural that we have to invest in education, in my country private schools are very expensive so only rich people can go to quality private schools.

Exactly, education is still a top priority in developed countries because only education can create geniuses, national leaders, and great businessmen. It was funny that many people thought that education was useless, they graduated and unemployed, and they blamed education while others had stable jobs. They should look back at themselves, they are very bad so no one wants to recruit them. Those who only blame are those who never succeed.

I wonder if higher education will help for entrepreneurship?

Actually it doesn't determine education, but I think this is also an alternative to implementing the insights that have been obtained through education, because theory and material can determine how efficiently a person's performance is in managing an entrepreneur. But what is certain is that not all entrepreneurs use higher education alternatives to manage their entrepreneurship, they are able to examine every aspect of their entrepreneurship by following their own entrepreneurial procedures, but are more perfect when they get more insight from their education and can implement it as much as possible.

Higher education can certainly provide useful knowledge and skills for entrepreneurship, but it is not the only path to success. While academic coursework may not directly translate into practical experience, it can provide a solid foundation in business concepts, management principles, and industry-specific knowledge that can be applied in the real world.

There’s some ridiculous posts in this thread. Anyone who says college is a waste of time and money either never went, or went to the wrong one / didn’t make the most out of their experience. Now I’m not so sure that a graduate degree is really worth it for most professions or people, but a bachelors degree certainly is. I went to school for business and learned a ton about what it takes and how to run one.  Im not saying you can’t be successful if you don’t go to college. You certainly can. But the majority of people benefit from the experience in a big way, in many ways.  I’ll forever be a proponent of higher learning.

Thank you; I couldn't have said it better myself. I saw a lot of posts claiming that famous entrepreneurs never went to college or university, and it baffles me. Those who are actually successful are a minority; you can't represent the success stories only; for one success story, there have been hundreds of failed attempts. Personally, I completed a bachelor's in Economic and Management science and am close to finishing my master's degree in Digital transformation. One of the most important skills I learned was how to teach myself how to learn and acquire new knowledge, but I also acquired great information about entrepreneurship, startups, and businesses in general.

Is all education related to entrepreneurship. If it doesn't, you have found the answer to the question.

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.

Theory will never be the same in practice, even though the knowledge base is in the theory that is learned, many successful people are not even highly educated, but they are full of experience.

Nothing can help you if you don't move and try things that are impossible, in the concept of success hard work, perseverance and never giving up are the keys to everything, while relationships and other factors are supporting when you have gone through the process

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

Education will only help you get a license, but will not encourage you to be better when there are no skills in building entrepreneurship or anything else.

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?

This percentage is a bit of a public lie, many entrepreneurs take the undergraduate route when they have found success and even many entrepreneurs do not have a high formal education.

The function of education is only as a place to gain knowledge so that everyone is not illiterate and learns the basics to recognize character, shape personality and patterns to place oneself at the level of opportunity, that's why education is very much needed and quite useful for anyone.

In which country we need a degree to get the required licence? All we need is money to get anything we wanted. I don't know where you read 95% of entrepreneurs have their bachelor's degree but what I read 90% of billionaires doesn't even completed their school or colleges so the higher education isn't really helping anyone to gain more knowledge, it may help in guiding us to go in the right way.

Well said, I also wanna say the same think, Our education system only shows us the way and it is our responsibility to follow the full path. And if we first know ourselves, that is, our inner skill, then we do not need so many degrees. However, from the point of view of gaining knowledge, even though higher education is not mandatory for a person, it can sometimes be used as an option to increase one's knowledge and experience.

Higher education helps greatly in managing a business since it gives specialization skills on its field.  It also helps to develop critical thinking that can give advantage over competitor.  If someone wants to expands his business or entrepreneurial capability, he needs to attain new knowledge and that can be learned not only by experience but also by learning theories and cases that is presented in higher education learnings.

Are you sure about this statistics?  Can you give me the data proving that 90% of billionaires doesn't completes their formal education?

Many people find skills based on their education, so even though it is not an obligation to be highly educated but everyone must have education so that they can develop their own skills, we don't need a lot of educational degrees because they don't guarantee success but we do need an education to learn everything.

In my opinion, the importance of high education comes from the changes it applies to your thinking, not from the amount of knowledge you get, because you can gain this knowledge in other places without the need to pay for high education, but you won't be able to think the same way the academic courses learn you to think. Therefore, I see high education is something we should consider getting if we are able to pay its expenses.

There are short courses and areas on the web where someone can learn the actual topic and skills he/she may want to get and it comes for free. While the other uses it as a business where they've taken it freely, they'll sell the knowledge they've learned.
I think there's still that belief that everyone should take higher education because the opportunity offered for having it is vast unlike those that don't have it but with the current situation of the modern world, everything changes and huge companies in the tech scene don't even ask for it and what they want is what you can offer and what your skills are.

That's right, but not in all cases. In general learning to work on your own, prepare for exams, meet deadlines, and all that is what you're getting out of this, but in some cases, like when you learn to be a medic, there's no other way but to go to a university.
For instance, you can learn to code on your own, you can learn to build robots, draw and paint, write essays, but you cannot become a doctor by reading books. This means that there are a few occupations where higher education is very important and cannot be avoided. For the majority though it's not and you're going to be fine learning on your own.

Correct. At least the opportunities that are owned by people who have higher education are indeed far greater than those who are not very educated. because being highly educated also means having prepared from the start. so that when he enters the entrepreneurial business he will not be too surprised by the conditions in the field because he has read a lot of other people's experiences as outlined in a book he has read and studied. but still one's skills can indeed be very extraordinary even without higher education. but with higher education can complement something that is lacking.

Higher education is the need of time - In our country education from abroad is really considered worth a million. Because the education system in our country in not good. The higher the degree from abroad the more value it will have.
But I personally believe I should have had a degree with skills development it would be more fruitful than my recent degree.

[Haunebu]

Higher education value depends on whether the skill are focusing on mastering is in demand or not op. For example, STEM skills are almost always in demand in developed and developing countries around the world.

This is why so many students end up choosing STEM related degrees since they are one of the shortcuts to success as long as you master them effectively.

Business related higher education degrees hold value only from some of the best universities globally based on my research.

That’s correct word here. The practical approach is way important than just bookish knowledge. Doing a business was very easy in previous century. At that time you only needed proper knowledge and funding and there was major difference that made it easy to do the business and that’s: “zero competition”.  Now things are worst for businessman. You can gain all kinds of expertise from the books. The competitor for every kind of business is at its peak and you need huge courage to have one. Books can tell you skeleton and some tricks but practical approach can teach you “what is really selling in the market”.

Moreover, to make it even corrected statement, it’s not the higher education but it’s right course or modules that can take us on the successful entrepreneurship path. Not every educational background can get us there. This is era with competition you need to be prepared all 360 degrees.

We have a few billionaires who don't have college degrees and still become billionaires, like Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg...As far as I know, they have been geniuses since they were in school, and their families are rich, so if they fail, they still have thousands of other opportunities because they have rich families. As for ordinary people like us, if we do not have a high education, it is tough to get a job, let alone become a billionaire. We are taking care of each meal every day, not comparable to the rich people from childhood, they do not need to work, just study and study until adulthood.

     Knowing that most degree holders are not business-minded, instead, most bachelor's degree holders become employees in famous companies and get high positions.

    Most tycoon businessmen are non-degree holders. Then the other businessmen here in our country who have become successful are those who used to be poor and became rich because they were successful in the business that they started. So I don't believe most entrepreneurs are bachelor's degrees.

It is very natural that the value of education in the country itself with education abroad is considered different because basically every country has a different curriculum method so that it will clearly give birth to different values with degrees which will also not be the same. And if you really want a better and more valuable degree, it won't be wrong if everyone wants to move abroad to get a better education.

Because the level of knowledge is clearly different and the way foreigners teach is also different, some people with strong reasoning can more easily understand every explanation given by the teacher. I personally also have a desire to study abroad, but until now this has not been conveyed due to financial constraints.

By having formality and high education, of course, people will think more and will see someone who already has higher education has far more good criteria, especially in the field of business, and this education for the realm of business, I think, will be pursued through technical marketing.

And higher education is also one of the important aspects in business, because any knowledge obtained will certainly be implemented in business, here skills will also be an important aspect in business and accompanied by knowledge gained from education, these two aspects will continue to complement each other and also work together, for the sake of business quality.
