Why Students Should Consider Becoming An Entrepreneur While In School- By Elora Akpotosevbe

Most students depend on their parents financially. But trust me the money your parents gives to you is never enough. Hence the reason why students should consider becoming entrepreneurs to create a kind of financial Independence.

The second reason is, just in case you graduate from sch,, if you start the job search and maybe is not favorable, you will have the business to fall back to.

What kind of business can a student run successfully in sch? In order not to interfere with your lectures first of all, run the business in the evenings and on weekends.

You can start a barbecue business in the evenings, trust me, the students are your customers, they will petronise you.

You can also become a barber, cut your friends hair and make it cheaper, the ladies can fix hair and nails. Truth is there will always be money in your pockets. You can even go ahead and make savings too.

I know a young man who runs a small Minimart in his room, selling provision, the young man was doing so well that he plans to continue when he leaves school, he doesn’t want to worry about paid employment.

I also interviewed a lady who started her business as a student, she makes branded t-shirts, she expanded and employed staffs when she left school.

ASUU has been on strike for more than six months, if you had started your business while in sch, you won’t be idle. You can continue with your business outside sch, because you are now skilled and knowledgeable about your business, you will continue making money.

Let me round up by adding that after running your
business for a decade and more, you would ve been more experienced, equipped, after you must have encountered challenges, setback, and you being able to resolve it all, makes you more knowledgeable about your business and this will only create more room for expansion and even job creation.

This is basically for someone who wants to become an entrepreneur.
