actually in this our generation everyone is looking up to making good money and looking into what others do but dont think outside the box. for example majority of graduate all over the world end up looking for white cola job after graduating from school because they think the time they spend during the academic session will not be in vain, and must work with their certificate. and this has created massive unemployed youth all over the world, leading to mass number of unemployed consumer with no/less production, meanwhile they would have started up something no matter how small it is. one of the reason why most graduate couldn't start small is
1] no capital
2] pride
3] no good mentor
These are mostly the three factors that affect many in starting a business, but for the third, I will say you are supposed to say lack of mindset' instead of no good mentor, but for you to start a business, all you need is the mindset for you to decide which business you are going to venture into and how you can start it. Before even thinking of getting a capital.
Most people fail to understand that school doesn’t assure you a good job after graduation, but it assures you knowledge which you can utilise to get reasonable money because without knowledge, even if you start a business, there is a 50% possibility that it will not last long because you have no knowledge unless you know something about the business or you have someone to watch you in the business. That is where mentorship can come into play.
So as a graduate, being reliant on a white-collar job is also the same as wasting your time and waiting for a delusional imagination. It’s not that all graduates can’t get a white-collar job, but only 5% out of 100% get the rest engaged in business and other life skills, so it’s left for you to choose your part.
