Hey.

Currently i'm 15, and i'm interested in business and plan to become involved in the 'world of business' in the future. I'd like to become an entrepreneur, and am curious as to what education is best for this?

After looking around at business universitys, it seem the main business degree is an MBA (Masters of Business Administration), is this a suitable degree for an entrepreneur? Are there any specific entrepreneur degrees? Do entrepreneurs generally participate in further eduation? (University)

What do you learn in an MBA course? (What areas of business does it cover)

Also does anyone know what is required to enter the higher business schools? e.g, Oxford Saïd Business School, London Business School etc.. (I imagine it costs alot of money?)

+ if anyone has any other information or advice that may be useful concerning what i've just mentioned, please post it!

Thanks,

Robin

On your journey to get a MBA comes a stop... that stop is to FIRST get your Bachelor's Degree in Business Adminstation/Management. That's the first step, then from there on its on to getting your MBA.

Right now i'm 15 and in Year 10 of school (next year is last before sixth form/ college), where do I get a bachelors degree? Would that be an A-level? Or is it from uni?

bachelors degree is what you get (I think) after first degree.

In the U.S. you can get your Bachelor's Degree first (or you can get your Associate's Degree first.) A concept many people mistaken is that you need an Associate's before getting your Bachelor's Degree which is not true. The highest degree you can get I believe is a PhD (or Doctoral) degree.

I recommend doing an undergraduate degree in something you enjoy and then going to do an MBA in business after you finish that (it's only a year on top).
