Venus Williams graduates College with a business degree

 
Venus Williams graduated last month from Indiana University East with a Bachelors in Business Administration. It's her second college degree, after she earned an Associates from the Art Institute in Fort Lauderdale in 2007.

Williams, 35, did not previously have a lot of time for college, as she made her professional tennis debut at the age of 14. In the years since, she has won seven Grand Slam titles, as well as serving as CEO of her interior design firm V Starr Interiors and creating a fashion line called EleVen.

Williams also owns a couple of Jamba Juice francises. So a business degree is certainly going to help her a lot.
In a statement, she said:
"I’ve learned so much. It was always my dream to have a business degree and I ended up going to art school so many times, but in the back of my head I felt like I needed the tools to be a better leader, to be a better planner, to be better at all of the things I wanted to do in my businesses because I’m so hands-on,".
She still plays Tennis. She's currently competing in the US Open.

    15. That's a very ignorant statement to make. I hope you're kidding. Everyone, whether male or female, should work hard to improve themselves academically. Get with the program bruh.

    16. I have no idea from which holes you just came out. Because your mother has never gave birth to such a senseless child like you judging from your comment. Am one of those polite members but this comment is damn out of place. She is a good example for all women=> beauty fades, we can't stop aging. She has earned enough money but she went back to school. A WOMAN WITH A SOLID EDUCATION NO MAN CAN FOOL HER AROUND AND IF HE DOES SHE WILL REMOVE THE DUST FROM HER DEGREES AND GET HERSELF A LIFE.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Henry Eze or whatever you are called, is it wrong for a woman to be ambitious? Having 2 degrees is
    a good thing, maybe cos u r not smart enough to achieve such feat you're "angry" or maybe u haven't
    even finished your first degree. Please go back to school and get common sense, too bad there isn't a degree
    in Common sense
