 Neeta Patel   Young Entrepreneurs - Do You Have What It Takes?
Posted: 19/02/2013 17:00  Why is an entrepreneur like a
locksmith? Because he gets paid whenever he makes a bolt for the
door.  It's a popular joke about entrepreneurs but it sounds
like sour grapes to me. I'm going to get rid of a few stale
preconceptions for you and introduce some new ones instead.  It
would be a mistake to think we are all Bill Gates (Microsoft
founder) in the making, nor that because he left Harvard after a
brief stint, the road to entrepreneurial billions lies in
forgetting formal education per se. Also remember that for every
business that succeeds, hundreds will fail.  But having said all
that, when you're finishing your education and thoughts of your
future career dominate, don't let 'entrepreneur' be the category
that slips off the page or doesn't even make it on there before
you've had time to consider it. This choice can be enormously
rewarding and satisfying and is worth thinking about when you
are planning your care
