Hello My Fellow Entrepreneurs!

Hello everyone,

I wanted to make my first post and introductory message to you all.

My hometown is roughly 35 miles NE of Phila and I'm 21 and currently a Senior finishing up at Penn State University. My major at the moment is Finance.

I would have finished school a bit earlier, but I decided to take some time off and really begin brainstorming what I would like to do with my life. I needed some reflection time and did not want that to affect my GPA/etc . . . Although my major is Finance, I have many other interests besides sitting in an office and crunching numbers.

Entrepreneurship has always excited me as I love the idea of actually creating and building something of your own. I feel this would provide more meaning than spending years trying to please the appropriate figures in a corporate bureaucracy while moving up the latter. Not to mention the possibility of striking it big from nurturing and taking action on a dream.

I do understand the importance of experience, however, and know that I must pay my dues in some respect even though my ultimately goal would have a few successful, income generating ventures / businesses of my own.

I have made a few juvenile attempts at college to try and make something happen and would like to take a stab at a few more with my time left. I feel that a University with 40,000 undergrads could be a great market to get my feet wet, generate a small income, and most importantly gain some confidence as I begin entering post college life.

I look forward to sharing my past experiences as well as brainstorming new ones to continue to gather some knowledge in the area of entrepreneurship while learning a new thing or two from you all as well.

Look forward to getting to know you all soon.

-Scott

Scott, first off welcome! Just an FYI, those 'juvenile attempts' are going to be the best part of your education. I made countless small attempts at business before I found the right one. Keep trying a little of everything and you will one day just happen to come across the right idea!

Hey scott,

It is great to see another Penn State student interested in Entrepreneurship. I am attending Penn State: Harrisburg for Information Science and Technology and am pretty excited to see another visionary within 150 miles. Who knows, maybe one day we can join forces. I would like to communicate regularly. Please feel free to contact me.

Evan
