Not when you are an entrepreneur.
Plenty of "non educated" entrepreneurs are very successful.
That's not an excuse for anyone.
Well thats the thin maybe its different in the US in many European countires or better EU you have to have a paper before you can do anything.
You can have all the rules, laws and skills needed to start a company, if you don't have a specific piece of paper confirming your "education" you are simply not allowed to operate.
Sucks to be ruled.
For some regulated businesses it is the same in the US. In my state someone who wants to open a hair salon or a massage parlour must have a certificate in their filed before they are issued a licence to operate. The establishment is highly regulated, for example, the bathroom must be handicap accessable. in fact, my state regulates hair salons more stringently than lasik eye surgery.
Its not just that.
I give you a example from Germany.
Lets say you do your apprenticeship as a baker, you finish it with a certificate, you work in your field for a few years, then your boss sees you have a talent for management, you become the regional boss for 10 stores, of course you know all the health code stuff, you know how to run the accounting stuff (at least the day to day things).
A few years down the road you decide, fuck it I open up my own bakery I know it all, hell I ran 10 stores for the last few years,
Nope, because you just finished your apprenticeship, but never bothred to make your "master" you are legally not allowed to open your owen bakery, but as a manager you can give orders and as a trained baker you can do the work yourselfe no problem.
