I am not going to summarize what the article is about. Perhaps, I am just going to give my opinions about the article. (:
Personally, I feel that everyone of us have different views of life and thus each has their own talents and dreams. Here, in my opinion, I think that one who wants to succeed in life must solely depend on what they want for their future, be it to be a nurse, doctor, lecturer or even an entrepreneur.
Let's put Palo Alto's Cyrus Pishevar aside and see who are the other successful people in life without even going to college. People like Richard Branson who is a school dropped out at the age of 16, Bill Gates and even Henry Ford and many others whom managed to succeed in life without the need of going to college and getting a degree even.
What I am trying to imply here is that, although education is essential in our life, somehow I feel that we must always think long-term too. Sometimes, education too cannot provide us with promising careers especially when retrenchments occur. Thus, we need another back up plan to support us. What do I mean by having back up plans? BUSINESSES. We need to venture into businesses so to at least if we got retrenched, we can possibly depend on the back up plan - our own business. With the help of our business also, we can at least earn extra income.
Apart from that, I personally think that successful people are those with HUGE dreams. They think BIG and they soar up high to achieve their dreams. But still, many of us here are taught to study hard always so as to achieve good results and get good careers. But how many of us go to school to learn on how to make money? How to set up business? How to be a successful entrepreneur?
Maybe schools should start to educate youngsters on these.
But again, education to me is still important because it too acts as a back up plan for if their business were to fail, at least with the certificate they have, they can get a career too. At least, attain a diploma.
And maybe, it will work this way; Work to save money first and once there are enough savings to set up business, then it will be the good timing to do so.
To sum up, both have their pros and cons. :D
