Entrepreneurs VS Professors
I’ve always watched Robert Kiyosaki speak against the school system on YouTube calling the system ‘liars’ but I was a little bit biased about his judgment until I got this particular scene which I am about to paint.
It is said that a professor is someone who specializes in little things. Someone who moved from macro study to micro study. For example, as a building student, you have to run through numerous courses to be a graduate but a professor in that field can focus on ‘project planning’ only all through his life which is just a semester course for an undergraduate. Professors mainly study the depth of a topic.
As far as I know (especially in Nigeria), professors (educators in general) are more into research works. The aim of research work is to detect a problem by raising some important questions and drawing a conclusion on the subject matter.
Also as an entrepreneur, you detect a problem and further provide a solution which in return brings you profit. I solve your problem; you pay me money for doing that. Is this not a win-win event? So sweet right?
Here is what amazes me
The research works of the educators mostly end with grades or a presentation without getting out of the book. Anytime I attend conferences and I doctors and professors presenting, the next question is “when will this be out of those pages and become reality?”
How can you detect a problem, document it with solutions and stop there?
The school system killed the conversion rate. It’s difficult to convert theories into real-life experiences.
_If a professor and an entrepreneur are trying to do the same thing, proffering solution, why will one stop at the paper and the other stops at income?_
Do you see why an entrepreneur who graduated as an average student can hire a prof (best students) to work for him? The smartest student is not always the best student!
*Take this last dose before I leave*
Map out a better system for yourself. Don’t get infected by this school system. You have a choice. Be the best you can be. Start now!!!
