Ah, good to see that offline entrepreneurship is still pretty strong.

BUT...

Quote:
About 3.7% of high-school seniors are interested in becoming business owners or entrepreneurs, based on a survey of 1.9 million students by the National Research Center for College & University Admissions, Lee's Summit, Mo. Interest among younger high-school students is higher, at 4.1% to 4.4%.
I know it's just a survey, but that's super low.

Yeah, that is EXTREMELY low. The stats that I saw from previous Kauffman studies said 4 out of 10 are interested in business. But as I'm finding out, it's more like these numbers.

Hopefully when I've finished university I'll be able to work on a little plan I have formulating in the back of my mind, it is a social enterprise (probably) all focused on entrepreneurship.
