Young People Embracing Entrepreneurship

I found this survey on Inc. Magazines entrepreneurial section of their website (www.inc.com) and thought I would post it up and see if there's much of a response...

"A recent survey commissioned by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation found that four out of 10 youths between the ages of 8 and 21 either have started or want to start their own business in the future.

Of those who have the entrepreneurial spirit, 92 percent said they want to found a business to use their skills and abilities, 89 percent want to build something for their future, and 85 percent hope that creating their own company will result in a high salary, according to the survey of 2,438 young people.

Overall, 63 percent of all respondents said they think that if they work hard enough, they can start their own successful business. (Source)"

With the amount of information and tools at the tips of peoples fingers it's now easier than ever to accomplish the goal of starting your own business. I'm curious to know who many people reading this are interested in being their own boss some day??
