I'm a Female Entrepreneur - Do I need a college degree?!


By Giadha Aguirre De Carcer

I recently came across "10 Famous CEOs Who Think You Should Skip College", an article kindly shared by a fellow blogger, and could not help but question whether I would have done anything differently had I had this advice when I decided to go to college.  My story may or may not be common, but it does provide some valid reasons why women should strongly consider attending college, whether they intend to take on the entrepreneurial journey or not.

Let’s Make a Deal . . . Over Whiskey?

By Kadzi Mutizwa
Years ago, when one of my friends started a new job, her company dispatched its new hires to an etiquette clinic, where they were taught some of civilization’s most genteel niceties, such as the proper way of holding a red wine glass vs. a white wine glass. I got a real kick out of hearing about this (how come nobody ever sends me to these kinds of workshops?), but not as much as the one I got out of this Entrepreneur magazine article someone recently forwarded me about how to behave yourself when you’re having a business meeting over booze. I initially thought it was something out of the Onion - but it’s as real as business etiquette clinics.
