Earn While You Learn: Be an Entrepreneur
In a previous post, I talked about college students buying franchises to earn money instead of getting regular jobs. Owning and operating a franchise pays more than the average internship and teaches a lot more than could ever be learned in a classroom. Business isn't for everybody; but for those who are passionate about it, there are organizations like Kauffman.org to help foster their young entrepreneur spirits early.
Young entrepreneurs who start early, like the neighborhood boys who mow lawns in the summer and shovel snow in the winter or neighborhood girls who baby sit, are already laying the groundwork for successful careers in the future. There's more to young entrepreneurship than selling lemonade or tutoring classmates, and Kauffman.org has the tools and opportunities that high school or college students with a passion for business will need to start planning their futures as entrepreneurs.
But you don't have to be planning a career in business to enjoy the educational benefits of young entrepreneurship. It's open to anyone who wants to learn valuable skills that can help them be successful in any career field.
