Degrees or work experience?
by Vikas on Dec 26, 2006 10:51 PM   Permalink

Certainly, nothing can teach you as much as experience do. Almost every highly successful intrepreneur (in Indian as well as abroad) do not have any college degree. Their work was/is their only education. There are exceptions such as 'N R Narayana Murthy' but his success is b'coz the success of the software industry which cannot be compare with the success of the people we call 'the empire builders' like "Ambani","Mittal","Kirloskar".
Dispite the facts that if "Ambani" and "Mittal" would have given a chance would have choosen the easy path of Education-job-a secure career, It is their childhood enviroment which 'forced' them to work and earn, the job option as well not used to be as plenty as today.
Today globalization brought in plenty of job opportunities. The short term professional courses give student a quick glance of their respective field. Life is not as hard as it used to be a decad ago.
To day education and entreprenueral succes both seems to be possible togather. Courses like MBA brings students in direct contact with giant business hoiuses through cmapus placement, which aspiring entreprenuers can make good use of.
We should grab the opportunity at right time/place.
