I recently read an article called "How Liberal Arts Colleges Are Failing America" by Scott Gerber. I was a article about how colleges these days are not teaching their entrepreneurship classes correctly. They are also saying that a majority of college graduates are currently unemployed. Studies show that 1 out of 2 bachelor's degree holders under 25 were jobless or unemployed. This is happening because there are a lot of jobs out there that require you to have the degree plus experience. How else are you going to get the experience if no one will hire you to get it. It makes no sense. Some postings I have seen say either or. Either your have the degree or you have equivalent job experience in a related area. Having the degree to me helps have the upper hand. With my degree I am going for (Business Management) it will help me have a better understanding of what goes on behind closed doors. Having a good entrepreneurship class will help students understand what it is like to run your own business. According to research conducted by Buzz Marketing Group and the Young Entrepreneur Council, 56 percent of students age 21-24 never had access to entrepreneurship classes at all; of those who did, 62 percent found them inadequate or poorly executed -- even though 92 percent agreed entrepreneurship education was vital to their success today. Talk about a disconnect. I personally think they should have this class sooner in life. Maybe in High School. Junior Achievement is the closest thing they have.
