I took an entrepreneurship class in college and the professor told us the first day that our grade in the class would be no indication of how we would do as entrepreneurs. A valid point, but an interesting way to start off a class.

@Jim I really like how you bring up that even if the student takes a corporate job, they still have the backbone for entrepreneurial ideas and classes which may help them even if they aren't starting their own business. Maybe everyone should take a look at an entrepreneur class, even if it doesn't interest you? Simply because of how much you can learn from the person running the company, the nitty gritty and maybe if you're in those shoes someday.

I agree that this an encouraging trend, and hope to be able to take an MBA-level entrepreneurship class next semester. Entrepreneurship classes not only give students hands-on experience with the skills needed to start their own companies, but also help to develop key critical thinking skills that are invaluable. Even if the student ultimately decides against starting their own venture and takes a job in a corporate setting, they will be more likely to think outside the box, or identify new business opportunities for the company, based on their entrepreneurial background. Not everyone is cut out to run their own business, but everyone can benefit from learning to look at things from a different perspective.

@Cassie That event sounds so interesting! I think more events and collaborative efforts such as the “Entrepreneurial Deli” should be available to students. Thanks for stopping by
