"Oh, to be young, and an entrepreneur"- USA TODAY story caption

This story made me think. What is changing?

"According to a Gallup Poll released in January 43% of students in grades five-12 want to be entrepreneurs, and around the country youngsters =, and around the country youngsters are signing up for lessons in business savvy.  Almost 60% say their school has classes on how to start a business, up from 50% in 2011.  Those numbers don't even include after school entrepreneur workshops"- Oliver St. John in USA TODAY story

I believe that just like many adults have become disappointed by Wall street, kids are being proactive.  They would rather create something for themselves rather than depend on some large business for their security.

God bless them!  I think our country would be better off with more people thinking like entrepreneurs than employees.  (In the long run this will reduce the ability to outsource a person's work.)

I believe that the street goes both ways.  An employee can become an entrepreneur.  An entrepreneur might not succeed and go back to being an employee.  However, after being an entrepreneur the person will never be the same.  They might decide to be an "intra-preneur" within a instead of just being an employee.  Their world has been stretched and can never be the same.

Today's question is:
"How secure are you being an employee?"
