Entrepreneurship education aids students from all socioeconomic backgrounds
to think outside the box and nurture unconventional talents and skills. Hence, you
need to think about and reflect on the following questions
(www.excite.com/education/business/entrepreneurship/careers):
The first thing you need to do is find the right business idea and get education
according to it. You will then need to make a business plan and define your target
market. Once you have established these, you should start networking and selling
your idea into your targeted market.
The salary figures for entrepreneurs vary according to the field they venture into
and how well their idea sells in the market. If your idea is unique and useful, you
might end up making a lot of money.
