Question
Assuming subjects and skills refer to book-learned knowledge rather than life experience:
I'm trying to decide what to study in college or through MOOCs like those offered by EdX or Coursera or whether or not I should choose a business or a non-business major. I am trying to decide what to focus on. If I self-studied instead, I wouldn't have any debt from my degree but could still need a degree for other reasons.
What specific topics are essential for entrepreneurs to know? For example, there's a lot to learn as a finance major and I'm not sure which topics would be relevant for entrepreneurship.
I've tried thinking about it in other ways, for example: "What should a successful entrepreneur/CEO be able to do?" and tried to figure out which subjects will teach me the skills I'll need to achieve those goals.
Answer
I think every student should learn to write different types of papers well. This skill will help you to write various forms of reports at work and it will take much less time in the future. Also, with good writing skills, you can find a great high-paying job. Writing papers for money jobs is something which lots of people look into if they are not pleased with their existing occupation. They might feel like the time that they spend at work is worthless because of a lack of money or time to do more meaningful things, but if you know where to look and what you have to give, you can find a great job as an educational author.
