Entreprenuerial Thinking Pt. 1

As I was sitting in Intro to Public Speaking today listening to my fellow classmates give speeches about either a profession, culture, or major, I kept hearing the same thing over and over :
"...blah blah blah....this major can help you get many jobs when you graduate especially since the economy is bad....blah blah.....this profession is really needed and isn't effected by our horrible economy....blah, blah, and blah!!!"

Why are we soooo focused on the job 'after' we get our degree?
Why aren't we thinking or even being taught to start our [own] business [now]?!

This really gets on my nerves because:
1. We're thinking about then and not about right now
2. We aren't even considering (the students) or promoting (the teachers) owning our own businesses
3. There are plenty of internships and co-ops out there (in engineering at least) for freshmen to seniors but we aren't taking advantage of them!!

We are too busy worried about working (for) someone else. I'm not down with that concept!!

As college students we should be developing our business plan now so that by the time our degree is completed, our business will either be in it's beginning stages or in full effect!!

I don't think going to college should only be about job security. I think going to college should be about adding credibility to what you already know (or think you know), and meeting people that are headed in your direction so that you can work together. -- College should just be an opportunity to network with professors, students, and businesses.

So with that said, I will go and WRITE DOWN my dreams, goals, aspirations, business plan etc. so that I can measure my progress towards making money for myself and creating an inheritance for those who may come after me.

I encourage you to do the same!!
