Are Business Management degrees beneficial starting a business?

[Gabe Cinco]

I’m a 19 year old college student currently majoring in business management and was told from people that majoring in business isn’t needed to start a business. But people I know who ran successful companies tell me it’s highly recommended to know the importance and foundations of business and it can help translate to long term success rather than short term like those drop shipping gurus. Just would like to know your opinion on this and could provide a good idea for me to see things in your perspective. Thanks!

Long term success isn't proportional to what you may learn from majoring in business management.  It helps, but much of it has to do with gaining knowledge in areas that compliment the direction you choose as a career or businessman.
