Fantastic news and completely contrary to what educational authorities have been telling us for years.

FOCUS if you will on the bit of the story that talks about the fact that a large portion of the women going into business and starting enterprises have less than secondary education while most women in "developed" countries where they have access to heaps of education are in fact still working for others - albeit in more highly paid positions.

Is this another example of where MORE education is a disincentive to progress? Do people who have little education simply not know that they are trying to bite off more than they are allowed to chew and so succeed in spite of the odds!

Interesting that in countries that advocate women's rights and equal opportunity there are fewer women who take the risk of getting into business than in those countries where they are 'deprived' and where they have to struggle against adversity.

Worth a read if you want to ponder about what really makes people tick!
