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!!!

Woww its nice edge from there.I might be a large fan of professors but also admire been an entrepreneur. I think the countries educational framework has make it so.
ReplyDeleteHowever,my mentor once said money is a key but it's ain't everything.sometimes you do it out of passion. For instance, someone that has spent the last 20years been a professor along the way must have develop a high passion for his Or her field.
In a nutshell, i think been both can also make the work seamless, where professors don't longer queue in for making researches alone but also put some of them in practice not just text runing them but accomplishing them in a real life situation. But in an advance country multinational companies pays these guys for there research as long as it yield value to them. Been both might actually makes a good fortune
