Does a college degree lead to an entrepreneurs’ success? Why should or shouldn’t small business owners go to college? What are the benefits and/or disadvantages of college for business owners? These are a few questions we’ll be answering on our first YouTube and IGTV series, “No College No Problem.”
We’re kicking off the series with seven inspiring owners from across the globe. You can expect to receive answers from astounding business owners such as Julia Rock, Jeff Rizzo, Meg Raiano, Nicholas G. Muscat,
Melis Sawerschel, Vernetta R. Freeney, and Ryan Knoll. Also, along with their answers, viewers can expect to learn about these business owners professional experience, entrepreneurial advice, and journeys into entrepreneurship.
“No College No Problem” is a series that informs and inspires people who believe they cannot become successful in entrepreneurship without a college degree.
We were inspired to create No College No Problem after reading a survey by CNBC that showed only 26% of small business owners had a college degree and 18% had a postgraduate degree. As a result, this leads us to question why more business owners weren’t getting college degrees? To find our answers, we thought it would be best to talk to the sources ourselves!
And thus, our hunt began! Over a series of months, we collected many business owner opinions on whether a college degree could help entrepreneurs be successful. We also gathered more opinions from college students and Facebook entrepreneur groups.
Until now, there’s never been a platform where the floor has been opened for discussion.
