→ Day 9 How important you think education is

In my opinions, if you are planning to be an entrepreneur, to start your own business and to be your own boss, education is nothing. What's valuable is the lessons you will learn from the experiences you will be going through while starting and maintaining your business. This, coming from my father who manages his own businesses as well as my current boss Cedric, owner of Sinderella which is the only bridal shoe shop in Singapore that provides customizations.

However, if you think you do not have what it takes to be an entrepreneur and you have already set your mind to be working under a higher authority, education becomes everything. Without a degree it is almost impossible to get a stable job with idealistic income. Sure with a diploma you'd be able to find odd jobs here and there, but then that wont be considered as stable now, would it?

Therefore education , can be everything or nothing according to how you plan your life to be.
Personally, I prefer going through hands on experiences and gaining better knowledge and understanding as compared to studying.
But that's just me :)
