Although
I never had an intention to be an entrepreneur or starting my own business, I
still wanted to take this class to explore this career path that many people
have often found it successful enough to pursue. Another reason why
I chose this class is because it focuses on entrepreneurship opportunities
through the tech industry. As a student in the field, I’d like to learn about
how and when to take advantage of certain types of emerging technology, so that
I can make better career path choice with better chance of success. I’d like to
learn about the process of running a business: dealing with taxes, legal
obligations, marketing, expanding business, etc. Although it is very unlikely
that I’d need or use these skills, I’d still like to know them to better
prepare my portfolio, to deal with situations in future work, and maintain professional
life. Knowing the process of running a business does not only benefit the business
owner, it can also benefit those who work in the business, in terms of legal
means and/or practical work; thus, one of my reasons for taking this class. As mentioned
in the very first lecture, to be an entrepreneur, you always want partnership,
evaluate potential partners, and choose those that fit with your skills,
strengths, and weaknesses. I’d like to learn to work in group better.
Developing a business plan with other people throughout this quarter will be a
good opportunity for me to further learn and refine the needed skills to work
in team, toward a common goal, and in a real-world scenario.
