Article about college and some highly reguarded entrepreneurs. As someone who is graduating from business school in May, I have to totally agree with the lessened need for formal education for the entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs always learn new things in a non classroom setting.

I just hope I can apply some of the knowledge from my 120k education. Fortunatelty I am getting out with only 7k in student loans and a profitable business that I can hopefully amplify with my new freedom from the time currently absorbed by studying and homework. Overall, the general business education that comes from the early classes like economics, business law, and accounting are classes that are worthwhile and applicable to an entrepreneur, but most of college is literally training to become someone elses bitch. It is the beginning of the slowlane. The cool thing for me is that I could quit now and it wouldnt change a dang thing for me.

Overall colege is not worth it at all IMO a giant waste of money and time. Educate yourself FOR YOURSELF not for an employer.
