In my classmate Nikki Non’s blog, she wrote about major companies investing their capital into smaller ventures, which got me thinking about my own personal risk tolerance and where I think it will take me in my career. Currently, I would consider myself to be a very risk averse person, but I am sure that as I become more educated, my views will change significantly. Unless I am very confident that I have done sufficient research and that my efforts will pay off, it is not likely that I would invest any time or money into a project.
My views are likely very similar to most large corporations. As Nikki mentioned, Intel did many calculations and assessments before deciding to invest in the new companies. As well, most entrepreneurs do extensive research before starting their companies, so I am glad that my personality is such that I do not like to blindly go into any project and I think it will help me in life.
