- franchisefun, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Your post was very humorous and I understand from exeperience the value businesses put on real business experience. What I've seen over my last 30 years is cycles. When it is an employer market the higher level college degree you have differentiates you from your competition for the same entry level (junior) job/position. When it becomes an employee market as it is today, businesses drop their standards. As the baby boomers retire I feel the standards will continue to drop. As for franchise/business versus college, college is important but not necessary if work experience followed by some community business management courses and then a franchise is pursued. I still believe young entrepreneurs are first driven by passion and then live by trial and error. A franchise can minimize the trial and error but selecting the wrong franchise can be an expensive error and life/business lesson.
- diggeon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1College wasn't a waste of my money. Unlike the poster I didn't use my parents money to go to college. I didn't go to college right after high school, I worked for a franchise for a while. If I had stuck with it and opened my own maybe I would have made more money (though I do "pretty good" now) but it just wasn't my thing.
From what I have seen going to a big name college can help a bit in getting a job, but the big payoff is in developing (and then using) a network while you are there. If that isn't your thing then a community college and/or a state school might give you more bang for the buck.
