College is supposed to aid people at getting a good job and becoming successful. Hence, for most that go to college it is their primary option to use that knowledge to get a job. Owning a business to most that go to college is a secondary option that some only consider pursuing if they need extra money or don't feel they are getting enough out of their degree.

Another issue is the fact that even with an education some people still have a difficult time getting a good job. It is always good to have a backup plan for the things you do because things don't always go as you would like them to go.
