Degree in entrepreneurship

[Gill Courage]

I have only ever seen one course for "entrepreneurs"; it wasn't a degree and it wasn't for startups. Cranfield do a business development course, part time and very practical. To attend you must be a business owner/founder already, with a turnover of £1M. Totally excellent course, worth the time and money.
You don't "make" an entrepreneur - you either is one, or you ain't. Kids these days don't seem to bother thinking about what they are good at, or what they enjoy. it's purely about money and fame.

It's easy to blame 'kids of today'.

From memory, in my school days there was a raft of kids who couldn't be bothered to study because they were going to 'make it in football'. None of them did.

The Government has exacerbated the entrepreneur problem with the 'anyone can do it' message - as a result of which we have a huge wave of self-appointed 'entrepreneurs' (of all ages) freely awarding themselves titles and accolades but with no stomach whatsoever for the real-life challenges of running a business.
