How different would our education be if we went to school and learned how to create jobs for ourselves?

Most business owners even the successful ones never took a business class.

It does not make sense for schools to teach business ownership at lower levels cause most people won't be a business owner and what exactly will they teach? How to run a plumbing business, a truck, bank..... It can be a thousand possibilities.

Schools already teach some of the tools you'll need to run a business and that's good enough.

Besides community and culture really drives entrepreneurship.

1900 to 1930 was the golden age of AA business ownership. How many schools you think was teaching it back then?

You don't need a business degree, but you need atleast 40 hours of formal training to really run an efficient business...You need to understand how to create an LLC, EIN...basic stuff...but then you need to understand how to get licensed in your area, business insurance, business loans, create a business plan, managing employees, payroll, payroll taxes...small businesses in the 1900s didn't have to deal with these complexities

you absolutely don't. As long as you have the domain skills and can market or communicate what you do or pay someone to do it you're good.
Everything else you can hire people to do. Few successful business owners are doing any of that themselves.

It's easier to run a business from the admin side than ever before with the amount of software, online services etc to help do so.

Not just community and culture,but neccesity as well. It doesnt take rocket science to open a business in a community where there is a lack of access. Thats why alot of these immigrant communities thrive. Theres enough people who would rather be able to speak spanish,chinese when handling certain business. Black people speak english just fine. So we really have no neccessity, or cultural need outside of food and clubs to go to an AA establishment. Only going to black business would have to be specefically apart of the culture of that community. But how can that be established? When most of the neccesities in our communities arent black owned. Its not economically viable(price),valuable time wise,or convienience wise.

You have to hire the right people though and not just go off Google reviews...which is why I believe formal training goes along way in the entrepreneurship space, especially for African Americans. 95% of Black businesses that aren't sole proprietors fail within 2 years because they lack capital and formal business training
