There’s no question that college is a great place to learn and experiment with different courses that may provide you with the skills and exposure necessary to pursue your venture. We recommend a specific approach.
Attend college classes that interest you
Try to attend classes that interest you and help you develop the skills necessary to become a future entrepreneur. Specifically, focus on the opportunities that help you develop the major qualities to become a successful entrepreneur, such as imagination, courage, integrity, work ethic and accountability. As we’ve written before, imagination is one of those critical qualities that made Steve Jobs become one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time.
Expose yourself to business courses
You’ll also want to expose yourself to the business sciences, such as entrepreneurship, finance, accounting, marketing and business law. You don’t necessarily need to major or minor in these areas, but it can certainly help since they are key aspects to every business.
Advanced degrees may be unnecessary
As for whether or not you need to pursue an advanced degree, that really depends on the person and industry that they are pursuing. It might be necessary to obtain an advanced degree in medicine for someone in pursuit of starting a health care company with a technical focus. If you plan to open a restaurant chain, then having an MBA can help with managing operations and raising capital, but it’s possible to do it without a degree.
All of these classes and degrees will help you prepare to become an entrepreneur, but ultimately it comes down to the person and how they use their knowledge to lead a great company.
