Do Not Forsake Education For Entrepreneurship. by Muurian: 7:08am On Sep 14, 2020
It is everywhere. The wave of entrepreneurship has swept across the nation, as more and more youths continue to build businesses. This is evident, of course, in the influx of advertising on social media pages. Some of the businesses that are mostly advertised include graphic design, fashion design, production of skin and hair essentials.

These enterprises are so flexible that students have begun to venture into them, even while getting their degrees. With the money accrued from their businesses, many students are able to meet the demands of school life. This benefit is also enjoyed by fresh graduates, who'd rather run a business than settle for corporate jobs. And that's just one of many other fore deals of having a business. Nevertheless, your spirit of entrepreneurship might need a proper education to thrive.

Today, there are people who don't even study a course related to the business they run. And there are some who no longer see the relevance of the degree they've gotten. This has caused many youths to discard the importance of proper education, all because there's a chance to make money, just by running a business.

We live in a time that allows for easy conducting of business, because of social media. But, education would be the most valuable tool for every entrepreneur.

It is true that there are entrepreneurs who built successful businesses without having a formal education. However, it will be a wrong decision not to take the advantage, if and when we get the opportunity of proper education. It is not just about obtaining a degree, but also having good grades and even pursuing postgraduate studies.

Not everyone gets to study business administration or the equivalent. Regardless of the degree you choose to pursue, it is important to pursue it well. As more people continue to venture into the business world, you'd need to stand out in every good way possible.

Getting a good degree is a good way to stand out. Even if you're getting a degree in English studies, and start a business in graphic design, you'd surely enjoy the benefit. Likewise, the work you put into your academic research will give you the experience to make proper and professional research in your line of business. It will help you to be mindful of the future of your business, and also give you a more polished leaning in the way you run your business.

Likewise, education will provide more opportunities on the long run, and even if business were to suffer a huge setback, you'll be able to pick yourself up. As you invest in your business, remember this quote from Benjamin Franklin that "an investment in knowledge pays the best interest".

Every one has a system that works for them


If only hustling works for you, don't discourage people studying

If studying works for you, don't discourage people hustling

If both works for you, don't discourage others doing one one

The street is smart, book is smart. The fight is agains poverty not each other. The goal is to succeed

It depends on what you term as education....
If schooling and getting a certificate is what you term as education then my brother you are wrong.
A man ones said that a truly educated man is the one who can by reasoning get whatever he wants not by stealing or cheating...
Education is the training of the mind to think not just the learning of fact.
So I not going through the four walls makes you incomplete that means we are not moving forward in life

Your observations are correct bro.

Education is not a school thing, but absolutely the training of the mind. The four walls of schools are just one out of many possible ways of being educated!

Both are important

You need proper business education to operate a successful business

Education goes beyond going to tertiary institution.

Nowadays, a secondary school leaver should be able to read, speak and write properly. That's enough for entrepreneurship if you can't further to higher institution.
