My Entry In My Own Contest… No, it Doesn’t Count…

 Alright, as you all know, I have this crazy cool contest going down called the “We Don’t Need No Education” contest.  You have until Tuesday to submit something!  I’m looking forward to seeing some of your results!   I kind of wanted to jump in and throw forward a few ideas.

I am an education advocate, but that is my opinions.  Since opinions are never facts and never wrong, an argument for both sides can always be made.

Oh… and for the record, my own entry doesn’t count towards the contest.

Creativity cannot be taught.  Ambition cannot be taught.  Motivation can be influenced, but there isn’t a formula for it in any of my books.  These three stepping stones represent the stairs to starting your own business.  Going to college, while helpful for those who need to fill out a job application, is costly and takes time.  Some days I don’t enjoy college – it often isn’t rewarding and (to be honest) I don’t really like my major.

You are force fed information and asked to memorize and regurgitate on tests that decide your grade.  If you fail, that’s money wasted.  Even if you pass, how does that help you become an entrepreneur?  You embody the idea of your business and it shouldn’t take a college education to support it.

Hopefully that will stir up some ideas for some more articles.
