1.) What is your job or career?

2.) What is your duty on your job/career?

3.) May I know the range of your salary?

4.) What kind of education is required to do your job? What kind of education do you recommend?

5.) Would you describe you daylily life as an entrepreneur?

6.) Which part of your job do you like best? Which part does you like the lease?

7.) Any suggestion for a student like me that want to become an entrepreneur?

Thank you for answer those questions, if you lives in Santa Barbara/ Goleta area please allow me to buy you a cup of coffee, may be we can sit down and talk about your life and career.

 

Hi Kelly :-) Welcome to Startup Nation. I think a lot of folks here are pleased when students post. We`re all trying to promote capitalism and business.

One issue I think you might have with your questions is that all of them excepting #5 refer to a "job."

An entrepreneur doesn`t have a "job." They run a business, which involves taking on ALL the jobs people ordinarily think of in the workplace. So for example, where one person might have a job as an administrative assistant, and another a job as an accountant, the entrepreneur does both these, AND all the others.

What if you were to change your questions? Maybe something like this:

1. What is your business or entrepreneurial venture?
2. What takes up most of your time each day?
3. Does your business provide a living income yet?
4. What kind of education did you have before starting your business? What kind of education do you recommend?
5. How would you describe your life as an entrepreneur in comparison to as an employee working a job?
6. Which part of being a business owner do you like best?
7. Which part do you like the least?
8. Any suggestion for a student like me that want to become an entrepreneur?

Do you mind if I ask what class you`re taking where this interview project applies? :-)
