I have a always been the type of person to be very independent and do things on my own when it comes to school, life, business and anything else. Now I am a senior at the University of South Florida and am getting to the point where I have to make a decision what to do after I gradute.
Options:
Get my MBA
Start my own business that I have been working on for the last year
Get a corporate job (not likely)
I have found it difficult for college age individuals to be taken seriously with investors and even parents. They think that your too young to know what your doing and that you should just finish college and get a job, you know the old American dream, working 9 to5 at a job you hate, people you can't stand and managers who have less college background and have worked there way up from mail clerk to CEO but they have dedicated their lives to the corporation.
I have reached a point where I don't want to get into one of those "office" jobs and end up like the people on the T.V show "the office" where there lives are so boring that its funny to watch on television but relize that you never want to end up like that.
I would like to get the attention of any college age indivduals that feel like me and that might want to share ideas and other ways they have gotten past these roadblocks. It's difficult to balance school and developing a business plan and meeting with investors but I'm hoping that I will be able to acheive my ultimate goal by the time I graduate and so that I have a solid game plan before I have to start making Student Loan payments.
