My Pocket As A Future Entrepreneur

Many Jobs require you to have the skills before you are allowed to work. Just like Doctors display their credentials (Henslin, 2010). Education helps us students in seeking higher positions and employment.

A college degree is a valuable asset that could ultimately lead to a productive life in society due to the received education, but people without a college degree do turn out more than adequate in regards to societal success. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the forecasted 30 fastest growing jobs between 2010 and 2020, five do not require a high school diploma, nine require a high school diploma, four require an associate 's degree, six require a bachelor 's degree, and six require graduate degrees to get the jobs (College). In an article called “College Education” by ProCon.org,

Education is not defined by knowledge, but rather by how one uses it to improve. As stated by Angela Lee Duckworth, “In all those very different contexts, one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. It was grit.” This is an effective statement because we think that a person’s success is defined by their college degree, but people have never thought beyond the fact that someone without a college degree is more educated than someone who had graduated from college. People who learned from observations and make creation from scratch were more likely to make a difference even when they do not have a high school and/or college degrees. Those who went to school and earned A’s for their schoolworks would be less likely to make a difference because their passion is to get good grades rather than learning new ideas. The motivation to be smarter

Since Mr. Travers works on different projects and different parts of the technical aspect of Tiffany and Co. , his typical workday fluctuates in what kind of work he does and how much of a workload there is. Recently, as far as when the interview was taken, he and his team were at the end of development on a large project that has been in the works for about two years. They were going to go live with it the week after the interview took place. What this meant for Mr. Travers to do during that time was to go through the project and to make sure that there are no bugs in the programming and to get every part set up and ready for execution before the deadline. Once deadline arrives, he will start up the project and hook it up to communicate with their pre existing systems via a service bus. In

Just the other day as I was talking to a friend of mine, a social worker for Alameda County, about school, he mentioned how he wants to get promoted but can’t since he doesn’t have a degree. He advised me to get as much education as possible before I find a real job. He also mentioned that when it comes to education, not to take short cuts. Stay in school as long as possible, he says, without breaking the bank as it would help me later on when I get a job. Having a higher education could be the difference between getting the job of my dreams or getting a job that I hate but still have to do it to keep me and my family alive. It would give me the edge over other

As technology evolves and the price of higher education increases, alternatives to College are considered. Some people don’t believe a college education is necessary to be successful. Instead, they decide to go into business for themselves, using the skills and crafts that they 've developed on their own time to become entrepreneurs. In this day and age, it is easier than ever to learn from the comfort of ones home and actually get a degree in something with a high pay out, such as a real estate license or accounting degrees. But what social skills will be gained from sitting in pajamas on the couch? In college, you not only finish with a degree, you get real world experience. College is necessary for success and survival.

In the 2005 article " Some Lessons From The Assembly Line" by author Andrew Braaksma. Mr. Braaksma tells the life lessons he has gained from working in a factory and going to college, the difference between the two, and the impact his co-workers had on him. This helps the author to realize the importance of a college education. I feel Mr. Braaksma notices that some students these days do not take school seriously and hopes he could change that by telling his story. Mr. Braaksma goal is to convey the importance of getting an education.

New service industry jobs require enhanced skills and proficiencies, many demanding successful applicants to possess college degrees and other certifications. According to the OOH “Education is essential in getting a high–paying job.” The BLS states that “Education is an important determinant of labor market outcomes. The more education a person has, the more likely he or she is to be in the labor force and the less likely he or she is to be unemployed.” According to the text, a person’s capacity to earn more can be directly related to their level of education.

In the essay “Practical Experience Trumps Fancy Degrees” the author is explaining how people who earn their Bachelor’s degree could read the books and earn their diplomas, but cannot apply what they learned to building successful enterprises. He uses his own personal experience to facilitate his argument. He never went to college and started his own, successful rock record label where he started with just putting $800.00 into the company. He claims he learned through trial and error. He also states that “if you have a brand that you care about and loyal, hardworking employees coupled with a robust network of smart financial advisers, fellow entrepreneurs, and good legal back up, you will excel.” While this piece is a good argument for how

The more education I get, the better I will be when running my own business. Education will help anyone in multiple aspects of running a successful business. You need to learn good techniques in order to have a good profitable business. Your profits is everything when you are the owner. The more you know, the easier it is to make a name for yourself and make your business more popular. Having a business that is constantly growing is the best thing that can happen as a business owner.

I also believe that an education is very good to have but not all that society makes it out to be. I feel that a person should have a good education so that can open up his mind and give him something to persuade in his future. If a person is educated that can really have an advantage in the “real world” today. Society looks very highly on a person with a good education, but this is where I disagree with society. Since society looks so highly on education, the people that may have a natural talent or trait may never get a chance to peruse a good career. The job market will always look at the person that has a schooling background and never at that other person that does not have a good education. Even if that person with the education may not be the best person to hire for the benefit of the company but the company will still hire him because of his education background.

Everyone has an opinion concerning what type of education is most useful. We all know that a college education is important in the competitive world we live in today. For instance, if you want a career in engineering, medicine, chemistry or law, a bachelor's degree or higher is mandatory. We often see people who have made it really big, and yet have little or no formal education. My opinion is, in order to get and keep a good paying job, you need both “street smarts” and “book smarts.” The combination of practical knowledge and explicit knowledge is the key to a successful career. Both types of knowledge have distinct advantages.

Many of the entrepreneurs and technological innovators we have today started making strides in technology before even attending college. Some start as early as 16 or in their late teens. Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs are just the more well-known entrepreneurs, who changed the role that technology plays in our lives without the possession of a college degree or even a full college education. Another successful entrepreneur, who dropped out of school at the young age of sixteen and went on to become a millionaire when he sold two advertising companies by the age of 25 for $340 million, is Gurbaksh Chahal. He was able to achieve this using his own ideas and intelligence. In the book, The Dream: How I Learned the Risks and Rewards of Entrepreneurship and Made Millions, Chahal explains, “ People tend to think that in order to start a new business they have to come up with something new and dazzling, but that’s a myth-and it’s often propagated by venture capitalists” (Chahal 59). This quote supports the claim that who people perceive to be intelligent and successful is not always determined by a college degree. He continues by saying that companies are obsessed with what makes someone’s business unique and unrelated to

At the beginning of the course I had only had basic entrepreneur knowledge, I understood the traits, and the amount of thought put into a business. I understood a entrepreneur needed to be able to set goals and had to establish connections and business partners. I was actually lucky enough to have taken a entrepreneur class in highschool. Which taught me lots on how an entrepreneur business is started. It also taught me the required determination and hard work it takes to be a entrepreneur.

In today's society it seems almost essential to have a degree. Almost ninety percent of all jobs require at least a bachelor degree from their applicants. However, this could be a massive impediment to students who were not given the right of a good education. Therefore, this limits the potential of students and diminishes their success. A formal education would not only benefit the student, but help benefit the students future
