So I go to Babson. It's the #1 school in the US (and the world?) for entrepreneurship. I have had no interest in entrepreneurship. That said, I think it's useful for my future management career. However with my new blogging/business-y job at a start-up website I'm putting entrepreneurial thinking into action. Newsflash: I LOVE IT.
Background on Me/ Life Entrepreneurship Stories:
I have never thought of myself as an entrepreneur and somehow ended up at Babson anyways. But after coming to Babson I realized I had already been an entrepreneur. When I was young (10-15) I started "businesses." Which were fairly profitable and fun. Fast forward 5-10 years and I'm 100% sure that I wanted a business degree. I chose Babson because of its innovative curriculum, beautiful campus and proximity to home. The entrepreneurship reputation had nothing to do with my decision.
One myth about entrepreneurs is that it is a personality trait. Something you're born with or a natural talent. LIES. Entrepreneurial skills can most defintley be taught. I'm an example of this. Before coming to Babson I was not creative or innovative. A year and a half later and I can think like the best the average entrepreneur and my skills are improving with every minute I spend in a Babson class. Cool. At least my 200k education is good for something :)
