Good luck with that. The ones that go for tertiary education go because they see paper qualification as a safety net, they are those who did well enough in a schooling system that trained them for Industrial-Discipline i.e. work hard, obey rules, get a cert, get a job. You think kids are stupid enough to stay in college once they realize they're smart enough to start making money a lot more money than their lecturers? <br><br>Seriously, what's the point of slaving through 13 years of boring schooling only to have our creativity blunted, courage diminished and being made fearful of mistakes and failure if we're going to have to unlearn everything we've learned to become entrepreneurs? Why doesn't our government just allocate our education budget to individual families to help their kids go to boot camps or use it as investments to grow capital, fund incubator ventures; teach kids to fail small so they grow up to take big risks!<br><br>Let's be honest : the total skill and personality set of an entrepreneur goes against everything schooling discipline conditioned us to be.

Seriously, what's the point of slaving through 13 years of boring schooling only to have our creativity blunted, courage diminished and being made fearful of mistakes and failure if we're going to have to unlearn everything we've learned to become entrepreneurs? Why doesn't our government just allocate our education budget to individual families to help their kids go to boot camps or use it as investments to grow capital, fund incubator ventures; teach kids to fail small so they grow up to take big risks!

Let's be honest : the total skill and personality set of an entrepreneur goes against everything schooling discipline conditioned us to be. Think about it.
