In this course, we cover 5 frequently asked questions from young people interested in becoming an entrepreneur:
Should I go to college?
Am I suited to be an entrepreneur?
Should I go to work for someone else before becoming an entrepreneur?
What should I know about being an entrepreneur?
How do I become an entrepreneur?
