<p>How can someone gain business owning skills such as social management/recruiting skills, contracting-related skills, endorsement/sponsorship-related skills, hiring process skills or product management skills & experience quickly without attending college in attempt of building a strong resume? Is this counter-productive to taking business courses through a 4 year college degree?</p>
<p>The easiest way to learn to own a business is to luck into owning one, or work hard to own one. Most of what you list people learn after college, not before. Most companies will have specialists in each of these fields, but if you are planning to start your own business, you need yourself and maybe one or two others to get started. You don’t need to worry about all of those right away. You could get a PayPal seller account cheap (very small fees if you don’t use it a lot to start) and get going.</p>
<p>Also, if you are LD, the DVR in your state could point you to training in those areas. </p>
