The world is becoming increasingly competitive, unemployment has become so rampant that pursuing a diploma sometimes makes one lose the desire to face the world after college.
Many of us have a notion that going to school is all about employment. If you are among this group you better start thinking differently. Self-employment is way better than working for someone, with close supervision, instructions, poor salary, and lack of appreciation.
