When i was in high school, my parents pressed me very much to study hard to pursue a good college. Because they said this is the only way to get a good job for my futre. But after i graduated from college, i found many success men are college dropout. And i found, the new guys just graduated from colleges can't bear the responsibility of a job. What they learned in school can do nothting help to their ability. So it seems, the social experience is more important than the experience of college.
My question is, if you have choice to go again, will you choose establish a business as a dropout or complete the full college eduation? How do you think about this problem?

With referral to your question in establishing a business, I think it is an advantage to have a high degree of education, although one should really be well-rounded in terms of the different aspects of the business itself, and with luck surely would have a good future in front of you.

Me still I wouldn't go and to college it bored me and no matter how hard I work I never really made it to well in the course or any classes I took. It just wasn't for me and to make it in life you really don't need college so I wouldn't force it on my kids at all. If they want to go to college they can but they don't have to it's there life there choice if they want to or not and now and days it don't matter if you have a degree on not you might not ever use it or do anything with that degree and you'll still be in the same place as all those people that didn't go to college.

Some students just go to college for a laugh they don't intend doing anything just getting drunk and mucking about.Your parents are right a good education is worth its weight in gold.There may not be many jobs around at the moment but give it time.The economy will turn round and they will be crying out for well educated young people.All those drop outs will learn their lesson and end up back in college late in life instead.We have universitys where some students just go for the experience not to learn anything,it gives young people a bad name.It is always the same you here on the news about the youth making trouble but you hardly ever hear about the good kids who try hard.

In my opinion, the importance of studying in college is fostering abilities, ability of studying, team-spirit and thinking mode, even it can affect one`s temperament type. Relatively speaking, studying itself is not the important thing during collegiate period, but I think it is still much meaningful and worthy for studying there, generally it is necessary, though the college education is not perfect and should be improved.

Well, if your mental conditioning is with the old-school type of setting, then the obvious would be to follow our folks who will say that we'll go to school, finish college, and find a secure job. However, when we got educated about business and money, we'll wake up from our slumber and look around to see who will be helping us to start our business. If I can rewind my life and bring back yesteryears, I would trade my college education to starting a business early - with wise guidance.
