Must you have a degree before you can start a business?

Although education is very important when handling business skills, it is not necessary. We have many people that did not attend tertiary institution and they are doing very fine in their respective business. Education will just give you a edge in your business and you will able it. Fineeh.

While you can certainly start a business without a degree, earning a degree in which you can study and practice good analytical skills, marketing, managerial and accounting skills may help you better prepared in the long run.

I don't think having a degree is important before you can start a business. Though a degree might probably make the business easy for you especially if the degree is related to your scope of business.

A degree is not necessary to start a business. I did not say education is not necessary. One can be educated without having to go to the university. Business requires one to continuously study management to be able to run the business

It depends on the business you are about going into though. Starting up a store or restaurant might not need a degree to startup, but having one would give your business some level of respect compared to when you do not have a degree.

It is sometimes advisable to have a degree but it depends on what business that you engage in.
At the same time, there are some people who do not have a degree and they are doing very well in their businesses

We know that education is very good when it comes to handling a business, but is not necessary that one must being educated before starting a business, so one must not have degree before going to business.

It helps in some cases but it is not needed. In American, a bank may not be interested in loaning to someone for a business idea when they are lacking a degree but other banks don't consider that an issue.

Degree is not important but you need knowledge and skills to do a business. How do you suppose to acquire knowledge and skills if you do not enroll for college and university for education?

 

[Chibson]

There are many ways a lot of people acquire knowledge before they start businesses. Some of them go through apprenticeship and some go through mentorship. Having a college degree is not a must.

 

[Imran_Noori]

Education is very important to have a successful business but it is not necessary to aquire it from a college because today you can learn whatever you want from internet.

Starting a business most of the time dont have anything to do in starting a business , all you need to know is the basic and the neccesary things about the business ten you are ready to run the business.

 

[Danny4cash]

You don't need a degree to start any business whether online or offline. Most of the people who are earning millions of dollars from online business have no degree. Same thing for physical business. However, having a degree will give you an edge, especially if your business is related to what you study in University.

 

[Syldan]

Personally I think having a degree befor you can start a business is not necessary even though it has some roles to play in the administration of the business but there are alot of successful businessmen that have no such degree.

 

[Yohanna]

It is not compulsory to have a degree before you can become a successful businessman . There are a lot of businesses that becomes very successful and are managed by those who do not have college degree.

 

[AruneBend]

You don't have to have a degree before starting a business, but the degree is a big advantage because you can learn more about how to create a good business and things like that, which would help a lot. However, you can still develop a great business without any degree.

Well, I think that it depends. There are many businesses that requires you to have knowledge about commerce. This may require you to have a degree to understand the business.

 

[Syldan]

Well it depends but personally I believe having a degree, is not a guarantee certificate to start and run a successful business though it's an additional advantage and I believe there are alot of people who are into successful business without the degree certificate.

 

[Shigobad20201]

Having a degree is not a criteria for starting a business , all you need is to know everything about the business you are venturing into , then you will be succesful if you have an awesome business plan .

 

[Chibson]

Education is very important to have a successful business but it is not necessary to aquire it from a college because today you can learn whatever you want from internet.

Probably, people must understand that there are two types of education which is formal education and informal education. Those who acquire business knowledge through the informal way even becomes more successful.
