2 Broke Girls: What It Says About College and Entrepreneurship
2 Broke Girls explores the lives that most people can relate to. A job with no prospectives, dreams too big to be taken seriously, and friendships that change lives.
The American dream comes alive in this sitcom. The basis of working hard and being successful in the end is a never ending story for these two friends: Max and Caroline. A friendship formed that would have not otherwise, leads to the empowerment needed to create their own place in the world in the form of a bar. Or should I say a hip and upcoming dessert bar?
In order for Max to succeed she does not need to have gone to college to create a new idea that can be turned into a living. Her carefree and adventurous attitude allows her to take risks that others would not waste their time on. She is able to go full force with this dream without a risk for failure because in society's eyes, she has hit rock bottom. She is able to use her personal skills to allow her to be-friend the right people at the right time to gain a foot in
When people are questioning spending time and thousands of dollars on a degree with no ROI, this show gives a glimpse into those careers that are just there to support someone until their dream becomes a reality. Business is the one career that has a long past that has supported all types of economic classes in life. Whether its your local ma and pop's shop or the Wal-Mart down the street, business is everywhere. This show explores the education required to be successful in business.
Caroline, an Ivy League graduate and Max's only friend in town, is at the same success/financial level as Max; someone who never went to college. This raises questions about the degree itself. As a ivy graduate in business, why is it so hard for her to get a job? Well, it comes down to how the degree is used.
An ivy league degree holds a certain prestige with the ivy name. Image is everything in the corporate world. As her father's publicized conviction in prison ruins her name, she is blacklisted from every company. The only thing left for her is to start her own company. Something she cannot do by herself.
This idea of a degree being worthless without a name raises the question of going to college in the first place. Is it ideal for someone to go to a top university and stay in debt versus going to a state school? It really depends on the industry and the need for the skills obtained through the degree.
Caroline is successful in her desert bar with the help of her degree but, her degree is in a sense worthless to the job market. She cannot get a job with it, but she can surely create her own job.
With college getting more and more expensive, many people are resorting to starting their own businesses and taking the risk of not going to college. This show gives an idea as to what that could potentially look like.
Without a degree, without a corporate job to survive off, how does one conquer their own path in the job market? 2 Broke Girls is trying to show us the path of entrepreneurship. A word that has helped many forge their American Dream.
Entrepreneurship is a term used in colleges now to empower those with degrees but in this case it shows how anyone can do the same regardless of their "resume". Instead of joining the existing job market, it focuses on creating your own.
