3A Entrepeneurship Story

My dad has been involved in several businesses and/or ventures selling products and services over the years, and he was always very encouraging to me and would often suggest ways to try selling things.  I tried to buy and flip Yu Gi Oh cards when I was in middle school.  I didn't turn a profit, but I tried.  I used to sell things on eBay pretty frequently.

I enrolled in ENT3003 because I need one more business elective to graduate.  This class seems easy, but also interesting.  I think there is some valuable insight to be gained from self-reflection centered assignments.  This seems like a class that focuses on empowerment of the students and helping them realize where they need to develop in order to get where they want to go.  Many of the business classes seem unnecessary, as I feel that most of the requisite knowledge for a job will simply be learned on the job.  However, it seems that this class will be broadly useful.

  1. I personally took this class for the same reason; I felt as if some of the other business type classes seemed less interesting and rather unnecessary, but this class seemed more practical and as if maybe some fundamental knowledge could be taken away that could apply to future careers and jobs.
    I also had a tie to Entrepreneurship with my father, who was actually a stock broker who started his own firm. I feel that being your own boss can be extremely rewarding, and I hope this class can help me capitalize on those rewards.
