Schools are not meant for entrepreneurs

I was browsing a book recently that talk about entrepreneurs. I agree totally with the sentences in the book. Simple, and yet deep. The sentences are

Schools do not create entrepreneurs. Schools are designed to create employees

Why is this so? Because schools teach you about things that have already happened. How things are suppose to be done. It discourages new thinking and thoughts for a very simple reason. You can't grade them. However, this doesn't mean that entrepreneurs shouldn't go to schools because there are certain things that never change. Accounting is one very good example. You will also need certain bases to start off with in order to generate your new thinking and ideas.

Remember, you need to know enough to start developing alternative thinking so don't use this excuse to stop going to schools. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs still went to universities, and they went to good ones too.
