“We Don’t Need No Education” Contest

Let’s get right down to the point: I am an education advocate.  I want people to school me on why higher education is not necessary (or has a detrimental effect) to be a successful entrepreneur.

I don’t want to hear some short argument saying “Well, college CAN be helpful… but it also may not be.”  I want to hear an argument explaining how those who are currently receiving a higher education are wasting their time (just as an example, of course).  Be sparing with your concessions and know what you are talking about.

Think along the lines of this:

Why is college unnecessary?
How does it distort your goals?
How are you prepared for being an entrepreneur straight out of high school?
Here’s what’s going down:

• I want any length blog post or email (jim.gordon@b5media.com) explaining why education isn’t necessary to be a successful entrepreneur
• Blog posts must link back to this page
• The last day to submit entries will be April 4th - that’s 2 weeks from today!
• If you are emailing, include Education Contest in the title

I’ll keep everyone posted on the entries and the progress of the contest.  Now for the juicy part… the prize.

Prize for:
2 entries = $10 Amazon.com gift card
4 entries = $20 Amazon.com gift card
