Why do people prefer business over degree?

Why people prefer business over degree?
Entrepreneurship offers financial autonomy and independence which allows people to be their own boss, set their own schedule, and answer to themselves alone...
No fixed salary is attached to Being an entrepreneur.
A successful business can scale and generate higher revenue compared to fixed salary

You have pointed a very good points, but what I want you to understand is that not everybody will be an entrepreneur and that is how it should be, definitely they may be people who will be working for  entrepreneur, because the entrepreneur cannot do the job by himself unless he appoint people to help him out. This is why it doesn't make sense for everyone to be an entrepreneur because this also will not make the economy to grow, because all of the Citizens are at one side then who and who will make the idea bigger. Both the business person and also a degree holder work hand in hand to survive.

In my own opinion, not that they prefer business over education , but some people need to be financially stable to support themselves through educational journey so that they don’t end up dropping out from school. That is why some people will have to invest in a business first and save enough money, then employ others to manage the business while they continue working towards getting their degree, as everyone is not born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Therefore, this decision helps them feel less financial pressure, and a way of creating job opportunities for others.

No offense, but anyone who thinks they need to start a business first to pay for school, then go back and study later doesn't really get what entrepreneurship is about .
They are just jumping on the bandwagon cause everyone else is doing it, or because of all those success stories online.

A business needs capital to get off the ground, and it takes time to become profitable. Not to mention there's no guarantee it'll work out . You could lose all the capital you saved up and end up worse off financially than where you started.

If starting a business was that easy , what would we even need education for ? Goal of studying is just to make money too, right?

Whether we like it or not steady flow of income is very important and when it is not avaliable it can affect one having their degree. Degree is very important but when acquiring a degree takes some period of time to get to the final stage and in this process of getting the degree finance is needed for tuition fees, daily expenses, research and other things and where there is no finance it can be really disturbing. For those who do not have financial support they will consider to go into business first while those who have sponsors business man not be of so much importance to them.

I agree. Pursuing an education requires a lot of sacrifices, especially financial ones. Like most of our fellow students, we worked while studying at the same time.
This provided some financial relief and also gave us an opportunity to try planning a small business on the side, at least as a starting point.
However, many people think that running a business is easy and that having money guarantees success, but that is not the case.
I believe that running a successful business also requires additional education, as it is important to broaden one's knowledge and understanding of finance and management in general, both of which are essential for business success.
