Babson College - Is it right for me?

<p>I'm not sure if this school is right for me. I'm not trying to brag in this thread or anything. I'm trying to see if this is the school that I want to go to. </p>

<p>I've made money online, and sold a website for five figures at the age of 16.</p>

<p>I'm a businessman/marketer. I work with programmers, and I know how to raise money if I need it.</p>

<p>I feel that I should get into computer science/programming, since this is currently my main weakness (even though it's hard but I think it will be more beneficial for me). I don't feel it's necessary to go to school to learn business. But I don't mind going to learn about legalities, proper accounting, etc.</p>

<p>I know about managing employees already, this is stuff that I read on my own.</p>

<p>Any advice? I also don't want to start a business after college; I don't see it as a way of getting me to my end goal; of becoming wealthy. I think I will do this automatically after getting a job and then leaving and starting my own company. </p>

<p>Also I don't like the idea of $3000, and then doing a business.. I don't really feel like competing against other people in selling "products". like USB drives/ and pens...</p>

<p>My next project is a mobile advertising network, and I prefer trying to sell ad space to advertisers, etc. already have $25k committed from investors..</p>

<p>I didn't get any scholarship, probably my academics is not good enough.</p>

<p>Any advice?
Thanks</p>

<p>I’m sorry but without your SAT scores I won’t be able to help you.</p>

<p>It sounds like you would be much better off doing computer science.</p>

<p>Business degrees are only useful if you want to learn something like finance or accounting, but you would benefit more from learning about what you have to work with when creating your products. Then again, I’m assuming that the job you want between college and starting your own company is also working for a tech giant and that when you start your own company you would rather be involved heavily in the products you are developing rather than the accounts.</p>
