In an age dominated by innovation and new technology, becoming a successful entrepreneur is no longer the preserve of a MBA degree holder.
在當(dāng)今這個(gè)以創(chuàng)新和新科技為主導(dǎo)的時(shí)代，成為成功企業(yè)家再也不是工商管理碩士的專(zhuān)利了。

Almost any degree can help if the businessman looks at it from the right angle, said Entrepreneur.com.
Entrepreneur.com稱，只要找對(duì)了方向，幾乎任何專(zhuān)業(yè)的學(xué)位都有助于企業(yè)家的事業(yè)。

The website lists five majors that might have been ignored by students but which can be perfect preparation for entrepreneurial achievement.
該網(wǎng)站列出了5個(gè)也許被學(xué)生忽視、但很可能是成功企業(yè)家的搖籃的專(zhuān)業(yè)。

Let’s take a look at five degrees that may lead to success.
讓我們來(lái)看看這5個(gè)通往成功之路的專(zhuān)業(yè)。

1. English
英語(yǔ)

English graduates who write or speak the language well can open their own SEO (search engine optimization) company or earn money from writing blogs. They are also a step ahead of the competition when it comes to drafting business plans or appealing to investors in emails.
寫(xiě)作、口語(yǔ)能力好的英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)畢業(yè)生可以成立自己的SOE（searchengineoptimization，搜索引擎優(yōu)化）公司，或者寫(xiě)博客賺錢(qián)。而且，他們?cè)谟糜⒄Z(yǔ)起草經(jīng)營(yíng)方案或與通過(guò)郵件往來(lái)贏得投資者好感方面的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力要略高一籌。

2. Accounting or finance
會(huì)計(jì)、金融

Understanding the financial aspects of a business can make or break a company. Graduates with an accounting or finance background can start their own consulting company where the sky's the limit for income.
了解一個(gè)公司的財(cái)務(wù)狀況就能看透公司成敗了。會(huì)計(jì)或金融專(zhuān)業(yè)背景的畢業(yè)生可以成立自己的咨詢公司，收入相當(dāng)可觀。

3. Communication
人際交流

Communication covers diverse fields, such as spoken, written and non-verbal cues. This degree course teaches students how to work with people and subtly manipulate them to do as they wish, which is the ultimate tool for entrepreneurs.
人際交流包含很多領(lǐng)域，如口頭、書(shū)面和非語(yǔ)言的暗示。該專(zhuān)業(yè)教授學(xué)生如何與人合作，并且能巧妙地操縱人們按他們的意愿行事，這不正是企業(yè)家的終極武器嘛。

4. Computer engineering
計(jì)算機(jī)工程

This degree can help graduates learn everything from web development to analytics. They can start-up a tech company and make the most of the digital era.
這個(gè)專(zhuān)業(yè)有助于畢業(yè)生學(xué)習(xí)網(wǎng)絡(luò)開(kāi)發(fā)、分析學(xué)等諸多技能，他們可以成立一家科技公司，最大限度地借助數(shù)碼時(shí)代的東風(fēng)發(fā)展壯大。

5. Philosophy
哲學(xué)

There are plenty of graduates from philosophy courses that can do more than "just teach". Learning critical thinking skills, thinking outside the box and debating skills are all crucial for a small business owner.
許多哲學(xué)專(zhuān)業(yè)的畢業(yè)生能做到的可不只是“說(shuō)教”。學(xué)會(huì)批判性思考、跳脫框架思考和辯論技巧對(duì)小企業(yè)主來(lái)說(shuō)是極重要的。

Philosophy gives people a foundation for connecting with others, seeing different perspectives and getting to know what makes people, particularly customers, tick.
同時(shí)，哲學(xué)為與他人建立聯(lián)系、從不同的角度看問(wèn)題以及了解什么能贏得人們（尤其是顧客）的肯定等問(wèn)題提供了基礎(chǔ)。
