I think this is more of an important discussion that can help many people and younger people especially.
If you didn’t notice, I titled this blog post Higher Learning instead of using Higher Education. The reason for this is because I think as people we should not learn only in school, but everyday and in everything we do on a daily basis.
We Are Born Knowing Nothing.
When we are born into this world, we have know knowledge of anything. Our knowledge is developed from our own experiences in our own life. Meaning two people won’t have the same knowledge at the same age level.
We Learn By Doing And Making Mistakes.
The way we learn things in life is by doing and acting. We act and do and then comes a result from that action. Which is either a good or bad result. If we make mistakes, we need to acknowledge these and learn from them so we don’t make the same mistakes a second time around.
The True Purpose of College and Higher Education.
The educational system was created by Ancient Greece and China. Their main purpose was not to provide their SECRET education to the public people. The purpose for their education system are for the elite class to learn more than the average citizen. They taught anyone in their educational system ideas and knowledge of the great people in our world. They inspired them to be and do great things in their lifetime.
But at the same time. The purpose of a higher education is for universities to supply industry and government companies the access to highly intelligent and skilled employees for the future. I believe, this is definitely part of the problem now that the education system is now globalized and not just for the elite.
What I Think The Entrepreneur Would Do.
Even though the purpose of universities are to employee you for a job position. As an entrepreneur, it’s tough to create a million dollar company with no experience.
With every day people getting a college education, I believe it’s necessary for an entrepreneur in today’s time to also attend college.
There are exceptions to all cases but a true entrepreneur is always willing to learn and absorb any information he can to better himself.
The smart man in life is the man who takes advice and knowledge from everyone. Never think no one has anything to offer you, that is the wrong thinking.
If you want funding from venture capitalists for your business venture. They would be more interested in giving you funding if you were working towards a degree or had some success before hand. Any added experience will always help an individual.
