Title: -SLOWLANE- Better or worse university?
Sup TFLF,
You might’ve seen me already. I’m an inventor, and I’ve invented a machine that can cook anything you want with a press of a button. So if you don’t fancy cooking, you can select a recipe, put in the ingredients, press start and it will peel, boil, fry, mash and stir for you. Entirely automatically.
I have a decision to make - I can go for an honored, damn prestigious (top #7), but a paid university, or I can stay for a free university - and potentially have more budgets for my current and/or later businesses.
So here’s the deal:
I’m currently “studying” in a university in Slovakia - it’s a small country, quite educated but with cheap labor. Universities are free here. It’s a mediocre university here, some teachers are decent, some are not, 50/50.
And I’ve spent quite a while living in Ireland - and there’s a university called “Trinity College Dublin” and there’s a Masters program “Entrepreneurship and Innovation”. Trinity is an Irish Harvard, said to rank at 7th place in the world. It really is prestigious. They say that 50% of that program consists of studying, and the other 50% consists of speaking to already successful entrepreneurs.
Why go to an expensive university? Well, Trinity is quite prestigious, and world-changing entrepreneurship is the thing I was born to do - I have 5 entrepreneurs in my family. The Entrepreneurship program is literally the easiest choice for a masters.
But, maybe, just maybe my current business may fail. Either the FDA will have troubles with my machine, or I will accidentally infringe someone’s IP, or the machine is not valuable at all... I will just start another, but if that one fails (quite unlikely, actually), maybe such a degree will grant me higher positions in some job or whatnot. Although I hate the thought of it, I may be a CEO or something.
Also, given that I’ve read Unscripted , and TGGRE gives 127 principles that allow to deal with just about any problem in entrepreneurship, why not just throw university into deep trash can?
Unfortunately, I, @MRiabov, am a Ukrainian man. And they say in the news that Ukrainians who are eligible to go to war will be deported back to Ukraine. But students are not eligible, and I don’t want to send myself to a meat grinder. I have to stay in some university.
The program (there are some similar ones, but this one is likely supreme) costs 16k. As I’m a Ukrainian, I may receive some payouts, and that will be down to 10k.
Of course, I do execute on my business -12 hours daily, and I know exactly what I need to - even for Elon Musk type of businesses (mine is one already), but still…
Do you think going to such a uni is worth it? Will it pay itself off in a year or two?
