			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometime ago we have already stated that <a href="http://innovationzen.com/blog/2007/09/18/mbas-are-overrated/">MBAs are overrated</a>. Guess what, today it is time to criticize college education!</p>
<p>Recently I came across another curious article listing <a href="http://www.college-startup.com/college/15-successful-entrepreneurs-who-didnt-need-college/">15 successful entrepreneurs who didn&#8217;t need college education</a>. You can see a description for each of these entrepreneurs on the original article, and below you will find their names (most of them need no introduction):</p>
<ol>
<li>Mary Kay Ash</li>
<li>Richard Branson</li>
<li>Coco Chanel</li>
<li>Simon Cowell</li>
<li>Michael Dell</li>
<li>Barry Diller</li>
<li>Walt Disney</li>
<li>Debbi Fields</li>
<li>Henry Ford</li>
<li>Bill Gates</li>
<li>Milton Hershey</li>
<li>Steve Jobs</li>
<li>Rachael Ray</li>
<li> Ty Warner</li>
<li> Frank Lloyd Wright</li>
</ol>
<p>Do you think that college education is not essential? Personally I think that this would be an extreme view. I do agree, however, with the fact that the traditional education system is failing to adapt to our information based society. Time will tell.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forbes recently published an interesting article titled &#8220;<a href="http://www.forbes.com/2007/10/08/jobs-employment-economics-biz-wash-cx_bw_1009worstjobs_print.html">The Worst Jobs For The 21st Century</a>.&#8221; What do you think they are? If you guessed federal agents, travel agents, journalists and radio announcers, you nailed it.</p>
<p>Here is a quotation from the article: </p>
<p>&#8220;What to avoid? The usual suspects. According to the projections by the U.S. government, manufacturing jobs are expected to decline by more than 5% by 2014 as production moves overseas. Same goes for textile workers, such as sewing machine operators, who will see a 36% drop in employment. Technology will kill off more office positions, such as file clerks. They&#8217;ll see a 36% drop in their ranks by 2014. Digital cameras will zap the manual photo processing industry by about 30%. And that guy who comes around to read your electric meter? Expect to see a lot less of him, too.&#8221;</p>
<p>I think the Internet will be even more influential upon the world economy than what the article is predicting. If your skills, competencies and attitudes make you competitive in a global, flat environment, you win. If they don&#8217;t, you lose.</p>
