College Freshman

[TheDeterminedOne]

Hey everybody. I'm an 18 year old college student and I'm making a goal to start an internet business after much researching. It's weird but I'm a Pre-Med student, and I'm following a career in medicine for it's security benefits. My dad is somewhat of an entrepreneur who owns a couple of franchisees and opened up his own upscale restaurant recently. I understand the risk involved but I am determined to make money. I plan to further my knowledge in creating a website and develop ideas that will be successful in today's market. If anyone has an tips for an inexperienced person like me, please inform me with your helpful strategies. I look forward to being a dedicated member of this forum.

It's not weird you're a pre-med student, it just means entrepreneurship is an instinct.

Read this recent NYT article "Making College 'Relevant'"

Career U. - Making College ‘Relevant’ - NYTimes.com

Here's the last graph:

“There’s this linear notion that what you major in equals your career,” Ms. Brooks says. “I’m sure it works for some majors. If you want to be an electrical engineer, that major looks pretty darn good.

“The truth is,” she says, “students think too much about majors. But the major isn’t nearly as important as the toolbox of skills you come out with and the experiences you have.”

I'm a college student, too. Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the responses! I read the article and many of my friends told me the same thing. It's just that if I do decide to go to business school, I won't be able to get into a good one with my bio major.

Also what can you guys recommend I do in the field of business. I want my future to be secure to some extent.
