Oso Trava argues that university degrees alone won't save a company: they provide broad basics (accounting, administration, operations, finance, some marketing) but are insufficient for the challenges of growing a business. He cites industrial engineering (his own degree) as a useful, broadly business-oriented program, and emphasizes continuous learning — whether formal (university or online) or informal (mentoring, support groups, masterminds) — as essential for entrepreneurs.

Chapters

A degree won't save your company. Look, there are many degrees, and I don't know what they're called now, but industrial engineering is a good degree. It's what I studied. It gives you the basics of accounting, administration and operations, business administration and creating new businesses. I think all these degrees or degrees provide broad knowledge talking about administration, operations, finance, and some marketing. And they're not as narrow or specialized as perhaps law, accounting or international relations, which don't necessarily have all this business aspect. A degree won't save your company. A degree will perhaps give you the basics. But whenever you face a new challenge, and even more so as you grow, you're going to have to learn more, whether it's formally through academic training, whether at university or online, or through mentoring, support groups, masterminds and so on. Yeah.
