"content": "Currently Education Already Consists of High Financial Risk with No Guarantee of Return<br />Education is always becoming more expensive, this year, according to an article on collegedata, the average cost for students of the 2017 – 2018 school year averaged at around $25,290 for in-state public colleges. Many of the students will not be paying that price this year however, as many students choose to take out student loans with an average interest rate of 5.8%.<br /><br /> It is easy for us to forget that the purpose of education is to create and develop job skills that students can use. The diploma the student receives from their college is like a promissory note from educator to employer, stating that the individual in question has received the appropriate training to start working in the field of their choice. To get that degree, the student had to perform an exceptional amount of work. The student also had to take a significant amount of financial risk, proving their dedication in said field.<br /><br /> However, what happens if that student is unable to find a job in their chosen field? After graduation, said college student still must make up for the lack of job experience on their resume. A high GPA and the reputation of the school the student graduated from might not be enough to sway employers anymore. <br /><br />Entrepreneurship Provides an Alternative<br />Entrepreneurship doesn’t replace the value of a degree, but it is a way to gain relevant experience in both your field and the general operations of a company. The goal of any business is to produce profit and having a more intricate understanding of how a business in a specific industry produces that profit will always be a benefit to future employers. In fact, many of the skills learned through entrepreneurship will transfer to any field.<br /><br /> Many soft skills that employers love, but job seekers have trouble showing in their resumes is management skills and communication skills.

A history of creating a successful company within those fields will only help your resume to stick out.<br /><br /> Of Course, There is Always Risk<br />Let’s not pretend that entrepreneurship is easy, it certainly isn’t. However, starting a business is not the impossible feat that many seem to suggest. In some ways, entrepreneurship is less risky than a traditional education. This is because start-up costs for a business, while varying, can be much lower than that of a traditional four-year education. In theory, starting a business in Massachusetts only costs about $720 a year for filing fees. Of course, operating a successful business in any field is going to require a bit more expenditure for the purchasing of equipment, branding, marketing and staffing. Regardless, the cost of start-up is based on the needs of the individual beginning the business at that time and can change as the individual becomes successful.<br /><br />As far as the workload that comes with starting a business, it doesn't differ much from the sleepless nights and time management issues that the average college student will often experience. The difference between entrepreneurship and traditional education is that you will likely receive compensation in return for this work.<br /><br /> Let’s address the biggest risk of entrepreneurship, the failure of the business itself. If the business fails, assets can be sold and depending on the legal status of the entity, the individual may be protected from bankruptcy in the case of a business failure. Compared to many private student loans, where even in the case of death the debt will be transferred to loved ones, this legal protection provided is generous.<br /><br /> Even if the business never produces profit, or suffers minimal losses, if those losses are lower than the cost of a 4-year degree the individual has still received a net gain.
