Going to business school<\/a> is a big commitment but can really make a difference when it comes to having the knowledge, skills, and networking opportunities needed to successfully start your own business and excel.<\/p>\n

There are a number of Disney movie characters who would\u2019ve benefitted greatly from going to b-school, as they would\u2019ve been able to use their education to make sound decisions, improve their lives<\/a>, and become business owners. Here are five movie characters who should\u2019ve gone to business school.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Aladdin.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Instead of getting together with Jasmine and using the Genie to get ahead, Aladdin could\u2019ve gone to business school to learn how to make something of himself. A common thief \u2014 and a pretty good one \u2014 Aladdin should\u2019ve gone to business school so he could learn how to start his own security business.<\/p>\n

He could\u2019ve used his background as a thief to become a security specialist with his own company, setting up security for merchants and other people so they wouldn\u2019t have goods stolen from them. As someone who knows all the tricks of the trade, he\u2019d be the perfect guy to design a security system that would keep thieves like him at bay. By going to business school, he would\u2019ve learned valuable skills<\/a> and made important connections that would\u2019ve allowed him to go from being seen as a petty thief to an impressive businessman.<\/p>\n

2. Cinderella.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If any movie character should\u2019ve gone to business school, it\u2019s Cinderella. Being treated badly by her stepmother and stepsisters and made to do all the cleaning around their house, she could\u2019ve used some business savvy. Had she gone to business school<\/a>, she would\u2019ve gained self-confidence, learned what it\u2019d take to start her own cleaning business, received mentoring and advice, and understood how to build a client base (of clients who actually paid her) and started her own cleaning empire.<\/p>\n

Obviously, her life turned out okay what with marrying a rich prince and all, and she no longer had to clean ever, but going to business school would\u2019ve been really beneficial.<\/p>\n

3. Andy from \u201cToy Story.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While the toys were mistakenly donated to a daycare in \u201cToy Story 3\u2033 rather than being put in the attic while Andy went off to college, Andy would benefit from going to business school. Though he always intended to keep his childhood toys, had he intended to go to business school, he may have been more careful with them growing up and when he boxed them up to store in the attic.<\/p>\n

Perhaps in business school Andy would\u2019ve been interested in learning about starting his own toy business, having such fond memories of playing with his toys as a boy. Even if he wasn\u2019t interested in starting his own business, b-school could\u2019ve educated him about the value of older toys, as many are now sold online to collectors for impressive prices.<\/p>\n

Andy could\u2019ve ended up either an entrepreneur or business owner had he gone on to business school and used his love of toys to influence his career path<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Elsa.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A lot of the movie \u201cFrozen\u201d would\u2019ve been very different had Elsa chosen to go to business school rather than isolate herself by remaining in her room out of fear of her cryokinetic powers. Anna and Elsa\u2019s relationship deteriorated and Elsa lacked control of her icy abilities, causing her to accidentally hurt Anna.<\/p>\n

Had Elsa gone to business school, she could\u2019ve learned much about how to turn her power into an asset and made connections<\/a> that may have been able to help her get control of her ability or offered advice. In business school, Elsa would\u2019ve gained business knowledge and she could\u2019ve put that to good use by starting her own ice-making company, ski lodge, etc. which would\u2019ve allowed her to use her power for good and not bottle it up and refrain from using it.<\/p>\n

A Disney queen with an MBA? Yes, please!<\/p>\n

5. Robin Hood.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Similar to Aladdin, Robin Hood is famous for being a thief, though he steals from the rich to give to the poor, rather than for his own self-benefit. While his mission is admirable, Robin would\u2019ve learned a lot from business school as he could\u2019ve gained the necessary knowledge and skills to \u201cgo legit.\u201d<\/p>\n

After b-school, Robin could\u2019ve either gone into politics, which would have him brushing shoulders with the rich and influential, and be able to get them to consciously part with their money, or started his own business or philanthropic organization that would\u2019ve given the rich a tax write-off if they gave money to his company to give to the poor. No matter what Robin ultimately decided to do, going to business school would\u2019ve taught him a great deal, helped him make important contacts, and generally given him better decision-making skills going forward.<\/p>\n

Business school is a worthwhile endeavor, even if you don\u2019t think you want to go into a \u201ctraditional\u201d business-type job \u2014 and these five Disney movie characters would\u2019ve learned a lot and been able to really improve their lives had they been able to attend b-school.<\/p>\n
