First, think about why we should go to college. What does the university bring to our future development?
Although our future work ability does not have to be cultivated in universities, universities have given us a broader platform, and constantly polishing our hard skills on this platform will provide us with more opportunities and greater development space for our future career development.
As the saying goes, "sharpening a knife and cutting wood by mistake", going to college is not the only way to acquire knowledge and skills, but if we want to systematically learn knowledge in a certain field and build a knowledge system in this field, the university will provide us with very convenient conditions and lay a good foundation for self-employment in the future.
There are also successful examples of dropping out of school and starting a business, such as Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, and Jobs, founder of Apple. They are all successful people who dropped out of school and started businesses. But in China, not many people drop out of school to start businesses.
Dropping out of school and starting a business itself involves a problem. You can think about it, which is more important, "education" or "ability"?
University study, in addition to acquiring knowledge, is more important to hone one's mind. For those who plan to start their own business, they can spend little effort to meet more people at school. Compared with the people in the society, the alumni I know at school account for a large part of friendship, and they have no skills, so it is easier to meet people with the same frequency and walk together.
For starting a business, it is necessary to start capital, manpower (contacts) and resource ideas. Universities can also provide these resources. Going to college may not help a person succeed, nor is it the only way to acquire knowledge and skills. However, after systematic higher education, the chances and possibilities of success are increased whether you go to work in the future or start your own business.
The successful example of Jobs and Bill Gates dropping out of school to start a business just now can only show that there are thousands of ways to succeed in Qian Qian, but it doesn't mean that dropping out of school can succeed in starting a business. Therefore, we can't misread the successful examples of celebrities dropping out of school and starting businesses.
