Recently I read my COMM 101 classmate, Karen Leung’s blog on entrepreneurship.  She mentioned that because there are so many social responsibilities that go with entrepreneurship, it is perhaps not cool to be one.  In fact, in my COMM 101 class, many people chose the option of working for big companies after graduation.  It is not a surprise to me as I also clicked that answer myself.  In my opinion, being an entrepreneur is not a easy task as it involves big decision making, strong leadership, and enriching background experiences.  I would love to take the challenge to be one, but I would like to build a strong foundation and gain some experiences first through working for big corporations.  By doing so, I will be able to grow as a businesswoman and establish the network required to start my own business.  Therefore, I believe I will be an entrepreneur, but maybe just not now.
