More Students Choosing to be Entreprenuers
Posted under Uncategorized
An interesting perspective at Fortune magazine reveals students are set to avoid the corporate rat-race and instead choose to be entreprenuers. The magazine sponsors a business plan writing contest and has found students are producing some exceptional startup formulas. So much so venture capitalists routinely set up follow up meetings with the top candidates.
“Protesting on college campuses is back. The object of this generation’s rebellion? Traditional jobs. In an era of widespread disenchantment with the often bureaucratic, scandal-ridden world of big corporations, more students believe that building a successful startup is the way to go. A recent poll of 1,155 teens by Junior Achievement Worldwide, a Colorado Springs outfit that teaches students about entrepreneurship, revealed that 69% want to start a business, an increase of five percentage points since last year. And the Harvard Business School just found that 67% of MBAs it surveyed had started a firm after competing in its business-plan competitions.”
