هل تخصصك الجامعي له دخل بنجاح متجرك ولا ماله علاقة

Sahl Wednesday,30 Jul 2025

Many people ask before they even get started:
"I graduated from education... can I open an online store?"
"I studied English literature... would business be good for me?"
And many others want to enter the world of e-commerce, but feel their major is irrelevant... Here, we pause and ask the real question:
Does a university major have anything to do with the success of an online store?
1. Majors provide tools... but they don't guarantee success.
Of course, if you studied business administration, marketing, or even information systems, you'll have a background that will help you. But today, e-commerce is open to everyone, and success depends less on a graduation certificate than on understanding the market, customer service, and a determination to learn.
2. What Makes the Difference: Action, Not a Degree
Some engineering students started stores with simple products and succeeded, while others studied business but their projects never came to fruition. The difference? The former worked, experimented, and learned from their mistakes... while the latter waited for "the situation to be perfect."
3. What actually is required to get started?
What you need to get started is:
• A genuine desire to learn
• A clear idea or product you know
• Thinking about the customer before yourself
• Someone to help you build a professional online store (this is where we at "Sahal" come in)
4. Your specialization can serve you in its own way
• Language student? Can you write amazing product descriptions?
• Art student? Can you design attractive images and products?
• Education student? Can you understand the needs of parents and serve them?
• Even if you studied law? You can build a store with strong terms of use and policies.
This means that any specialization can be transformed into a support tool for your project, if you know how to leverage it properly.
5. The Saudi market doesn't care about your specialization... it cares about your experience.
A Saudi customer won't ask: What is your specialization?
What matters to them is:
Is the price reasonable?
Is the order easy to place?
Do you deliver quickly?
Do I trust you?
This means that all the focus should be on the customer experience, not your educational background.
6. Reality has proven that success is open to everyone.
Today, we see high school students, mothers, and retirees opening stores and selling… because tools have become easier, and services like "Sahl" can set up your store from scratch and support you step by step.
If you're asking yourself:
"Is my major suitable for business?"
Change the question to:
"Do I have the desire to learn and get started?"
Because the real answer to a successful store isn't found in your degree; it's found in your passion and willingness to learn and experiment.
And if you're confused about where to start, we at Sahl can help you build a professional online store that serves your idea, whatever your specialty.
