Getting an MBA is beneficial because it sets you apart from the rest of the pack. One of the advantages of an MBA is that it forces you to read and learn, which helps you expand your knowledge about any business you want to venture into. I strongly believe that one of the reasons why start-ups fail is because they lack a solid foundation in understanding frameworks and conducting their own research, instead of relying solely on purchased data. While it is true that not everyone may be able to afford an MBA program, the truth is that there is so much to learn from it. If you had the opportunity to pursue an MBA before starting a company or directly starting a company, which option would you choose?

In my (very limited) experience the skills that people are taught in higher education are often very different than the skills needed in the workplace. Sometimes people who have been in education for a few years have a hard time adapting to the realities of the workplace and might be unprepared to put their education into good use. They sometimes need a lot more nurturing and adjustment time than someone who has been actively learning in the workplace through the same amount of years. The education is definitively a good thing and may teach them advanced skills but the workplace can be a wildly different set of environments.

I get what you are telling there. Many of us go to school and there hard lesson like for example in mathematics but when we graduate or get a job, those complex mathematics are not being used anymore. What's funny is that we only need the simple one such as addition and multiplication.

Experience in the workplace beats people who spend most of their time studying but it's normal if they are newly hired. They can still be trained and maybe can become a better employee later on because they already have an advantage and that is their vast knowledge that they learn in courses. It's important to pick a job according to the course you get so that you can relate to it easily.

Those degree you got from universities sometimes important to own and sometimes not. Nowadays the knowledge and information pretty much easy to find , as long as you have the super high desire to chase what you want ... you won't see any obstacles as a problem to start something , to start a business.

Iy would always back to ourselves, will you do anything to achieve what you want in no matter ways? An MBA degree doesn't necessarily needed if you think you are in trouble to think how much money required to get into university but if you think it's woth the money and the time , then do it , there is always a way! pro tips : just do it and you will gain experience , make mistakes as you will gain more experience plus knowledge from that.
