Dads business or School?

Being a cafe owner isnt always very lucrative, further unless your dad is quite older and ready to retire when would you get the keys to the business truly? You need to discuss this with him, though realistically a degree in management and some own personal working experience would be highly recommendable either way. Forge your own path, you can always expand the cafe with real world experience.

Can you tell me why I should get a degree though? I mean I don’t need to show my dad a cv?

diversification, your individual set of skills. Imagine your kid saying in school my dad didnt go to university. A restuarant isn't really a full time job, if you want to become a successful restuaranteur then get a degree and run the business on the side. And have two incomes in the future.

I'll give you an example i've inherited a house from my mom with 10 units i let out. I earn right at €40,000 a year, yet im currently studying a degree and i already own my house, its paid off and i collect a decent salary. Why two reasons, one i dont need to watch my house to get rent, having other ambitions is always good, think of how much money i will have once i have 2 incomes, career and house income even if i get a regular job after my master and only make £60,000 a year after a few years i will have an income of more then 100k, which very few people have. This is how you going from being middle class to having extra money to invest to go almost to upper middle class. Your only advancing yourself and your future by doing it.

What if diversification doesn’t mean much to me? I’m not that materialistic. I’ve never been satisfied over certifications and qualifications as much as I have achieved practical stuff

If you didnt want to get a valid other side of argument why even ask the question?

Fine stay a degree less cafe owner, best of luck.

Your answers were bland and didn’t give much reason

More flexibility. Say for example you get bored of being a cafe owner 10 years later and want to work somewhere else then the degree will open more doors for you.

What is wrong with studying business? do you dislike it? Have you seen or researched any other courses you'd like to do?

In business we had to write thousands of words on irrelevant topics concerning business like social trends in one of the London boroughs. Tell me if you can do that in three days. Although I am interested in football, there is nothing good out of it either playing or coaching

I see, you seem to like the practical side of business but not the writing side. Atleast studying business will allow you to take some actually helpful modules like accounting and maybe even setting up your own business during uni. Other reason to go to uni is networking- the people you meet and contacts you make may come in handy in the future. You can also explore more things to see what interests you by joining societies and clubs.
