No education is wasted. Some of the educated are useless though.


2
business-related courses prepare you for most jobs out there. it doesn't always mean you have to go into business.

If the Philippines is like the rest of the world, many managers (businesses as well as government) get an MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree. Of course this means that you must already have a Bachelor's degree in some subject.

it is the person who makes it useless not the course. you don't need a business in order for you to be useful, it is how you apply all the knowledge that you have acquired.

yes,because the problem is we are over populated in the phils.some were given an opportunity to practice their profession but many don't. Go to abroad probably you can practice your education or profession there.when you got a lot of savings then go back to phils and start your own bussiness. education is not useless instead thats the key to success as long as you use it in a nice way.

Of course not. I have a bachelor's degree in management (entrepreneurial) and I took several courses in marketing, finance, accounting, operations, etc. These aren't useless aren't they? A degree as such helps you prepare for most corporate jobs available. A management degree not only helps you when you have your own business, it also is essential when you work for the businesses of others (employee). Are business-related courses hard? I'd say it depends on the school. I studied in Ateneo de Manila so it sure wasn't a cakewalk. Some of the math-related subjects I took were accounting, finance, statistic, economics, etc. etc. This degree will give you numerous options, employment-wise.

No. You can still end up working in a corporate setting. They actually teach you both and its up to you to decide where to go after. But if you have a family business (like a lot of fil-chis) it's better to take of Entrep related courses. I took up Business mgt in dlsu years ago. It is tough since you also have to study finance, accounting and yes a lot of math subjects (quantitative techniques, production mgt, economics). it doesn;t end there; we still took up subjects in law and human resource, important to any business If you plan to start your own business, an entrep degree is the one for you. If you take it and decide to go corporate, no biggie. My former classmates in entrep went corporate and are now working for banks, mlc's and other corporations. I ended up with the family business
