What kind of degree should an Entrepreneur get?

Laura Evans asks the question:

What degree does an entrepreneur get?

There are different schools of thought on what degree an entrepreneur should receive, if any at all. Some look at top C.E.O.’s like Bill Gates who went to Harvard Business School for three years and then dropped out to form Microsoft. But even he will say that an education is essential to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Tim Berry at Entrepreneur recommends to major in your interests in college and to later further your education through higher degrees of education.
Many students believe that you must major in business, accounting or finance in undergrad to be a successful entrepreneur but that is not the case. You will not be a successful entrepreneur if there is no passion behind what you are doing. This too pertains to business schools. An MBA will help an entrepreneur grow and develop its company but it does take more than just the education. It takes dedication, commitment, passion, and of course, tough skin. Therefore, Berry recommends to follow your passions to become a successful entrepreneur. After all it is how top executives like Larry Page and Sergey Bain became such successful entrepreneurs.
