Hey!
Im 20 ,and currently I'm a soldier (Im my country men have to serve until they're 21).
I've read unscripted and reading TMF at the moment - and I'm confused.

I want to start I business when I get out of the army, problem is - I dont have any specific knowledge in any areas so I cant really find specific problems to solve.
I dont have any hobbies or talents that I can use as a business.
I dont have any ideas waiting for me to get out of the army and pursue them.
At the moment - I'm clueless.

Therefore, some people I trust who I consult with tell me this: "Go get a degree, law, MBA, doesn't matter - but get a degree as a warranty, so if at some stage you dont succeed as an entrepreneur, or you dont have any ideas, you would be able to get a job with your degree.
My mind tells me that this makes sense, that at the moment I really dont have any clue about what I'm gonna do - and a degree as "warranty" makes sense.
But my heart tells me no, that things will work out, that a degree is a waste of time (money is not a problem because I have help from my family and therefore debt is not a problem).

I would be really glad to hear your opinions , thanks in advance.
