That's right, whenever I can, I encourage members to continue their studies. But I understand that many prefer to start their business early rather than continue learning. I know that studies give more fluency in different business related topics and a broad knowledge of different subjects.Degree will give you a lot of exposure on the business you are starting, although without a degree you may succeed in the business but if you're have it you will be very confident in the business and this will actually help to boost the productivity of your business because you are qualified both academically and otherwise.
