Studying Business is boring....

Posted: Thu 6th Mar 2008@10:45

I realise now why I didn't bother finishing my GNVQ Level 3 in business which I took after my GCSE's. It's because studying business is probably the most boring thing I can think of!

I've been attending a short module at UCD entitled 'Introduction to Entrepreneurship', while its probably going to be fairly useful in the future, it's mind-numbingly boring to take in. It seems to be mostly common sense formalised, the one saving grace is having talks from real entrepreneurs who tell it like it really is. We have had some interesting speakers; the founder of HostelWorld.com, the creator of Gloss Magazine, the guy that brought Little Tykes to Ireland (and the UK) and one of the founders of daft.ie.

Another interesting part was the coursework aspect, which involved interviewing an entrepreneur of individual choice, I chose to interview a friend who is the creator of magicseaweed.com, which was an interesting and informative conversation.

I guess it goes to show then, that actually doing business is fun, but learning about it, is very, very boring......
