Instead, I challenge you to embrace a paradigm shift in your thinking and consider the idea of Entrepreneurship. In this way, you can jump start a business with the skills and training acquired through summer jobs or internships. Also, while on this journey, you want to create a personal brand so potential customers can recognize your company ahead of doing business with you. Establishing a reputation and credibility will advance your career and build self-confidence as a new business owner.

This type of thinking, when put into action, can put you in control of your own destiny. On graduation day you could instantly become an employer and not an employee.

I attached a link from Black Enterprise magazine to show you the stories of young talented entrepreneurs who are already taking the front seat navigating the road to success. Someday, we could read about you!
