Entrepreneur - Do I need a degree?

So you want to become an Entrepreneur? You then need some education or degree, right? WRONG! Becoming an entrepreneur require cetrain skills, but not necessaliry an college degree.

Some of the most successfull entrepreneurs today were college drop-outs or did not need their college degree. Now don't get me wrong... If you want to be an entrepreneur, don't drop out of college and think you will become a successfull entrepreneur.

This list is just an example that it can be done without a degree.

1. Michael Dell. Dell started the most profitable computer manufacturer company in the world - Dell Inc. He dropped out of college at age 19.

2. Walt Disney. Everybody knows who Walt Disney is. The Walt Disney Company has an annual revenue of $30 Billion. He dropped out of school at age 16.

3. Steve Jobs. Jobs co-founded Apple Computers - today known as Apple. He also was CEO and co-founder of Pixar before it merged with Walt Disney. Steve Jobs dropped out of college in his first year.
