the school she attended to did not teach
them to handle a business or how to run a
business.
• Relies to other people in terms of
business

Many schools has exceptional
credentials and an outstanding
faculty that can touch the lives of
their students with their wisdom,
knowledge, and experience. But also
many schools fail to know the
uncertainties and the dreams of
their students after leaving the
campus walls. Most schools when
you come to think of it only teaches
their students on how to be a good
employee, on how to make this
processes perfect, or how to do the
balance sheet properly, the lists
goes on but they rarely teach how
to lead or create their own
company.
However, you may say but these
students want to work, but I’m just
saying there are uncertainties in life
and when an opportunity knocks
on your door and it is always better
if you are knowledgable in that area.
In conclusion, schools should give
entrepreneurial units to students
just to give them a choice after
graduation, if they want to start up
their own IT business, HR agency,
or their own empire or work at
Apple, Google, Nike or any
company they please.
