Hi guys,

So I got a question what is your opinion at school. Online I often see entrepreneurs bashing school saying stuff like “A students work for C students” and stories about how people are making million dollar businesses being high school or college dropouts and school sucks and it does nothing for you and yada yada. However in my real life I’ve noticed the most successful entrepreneurs tend to be people who gone to school and who give it at least some value.

Personally, I’ll admit I just love learning and I did pretty well in high school ( like top 10 percentile on SATs wel) and experimentation on concepts. I also had really good teachers to help me out who gave me a lot of wisdom, so I might be cheating a little but I never felt that school was as bad as people made it sound. I’m not saying school is perfect or doesn’t need and hell I’m uneven an entrepreneur ( yet ).

But I’m curious do you buy into the school sucks garbage or is it just an online thing only?

    Experience > degree

    I just finished an MBA with a concentration in data analytics thinking I would use it to pivot out of retail management…. Well I’ve been job searching for over 6 months now and no luck, the few places I’ve gotten a nibble from decided to go with people with years of experience instead for the entry level positions, and given all the lay offs in tech recently there are a lot of people with experience competing for entry level jobs.
