Question

Do businesses and other non-governmental institutions need diplomats— and if so, under what circumstances? How about revolutionary movements, or terrorist organizations?

Answer 1

Foregoing a degree might seem like an attractive option when you take into account your investment of time and money in pursuing one. But 50 percent of those who start a business will fail in the first five years, according to the Small Business Administration,1 and those businesses certainly aren't making headlines for their financial loss.

Take into consideration that for every monolithic success like Jobs and Zuckerberg, there's a bastion of highly-skilled, formally trained employees propelling their company's success behind the scenes; if you'll eventually desire highly-skilled and trained employees to help you along the way, you may want to augment own your training and skills first as well.

Starting and growing a business requires a breadth of skills to do so successfully; good negotiation and decision-making as well as creative, analytical and communication skills are a must. The benefits of a degree that can thoroughly prepare you to start, operate and grow a successful business can surmount the investment of doing so––when you choose the right degree for your business goals.
