Why should college students start a startup?

 

It seems that everyone nowadays is either starting a business or working for one. The appeal of starting your own business is high as people are attracted by the idea of bringing their own creativity to life. But, of course, startups are much harder than most people are willing to work for, but that shouldn’t stop you as millions of college students and grads keep striving continuously to turn their startup successful.

Want to bring your idea to life, but afraid of starting a business because of fear or unsureness? Then, this AVCOE blog is just for you. 

In this blog, we urge you to keep any monetary expectations aside and see the actual benefits of a startup. College students often complain about not having enough work experience to apply for internships or jobs. Instead of going for that unpaid internship you despise, consider starting your own project. Pursue your idea that you’ve always been passionate about, or dig a little deeper in an area you’ve always been curious about.

We understand you must have questions. Let us help you bring some clarity.

I don’t have any experience. How can I start my own company?

That’s the beauty of startups- you do not need any experience, only the desire to learn. Having some type of technical, design, or management background will help your efforts immensely, but the ultimate objective or the purpose of this project is to learn.

Can’t I just learn in my internship?

Yes, but depending on the internship, your exposure to the professional tech world is limited by the position you’ve filled in. For some people, focusing on a narrow subject is more than enough. But for those with a curious mind, the best way to learn and gain experience is by trying out many things. People always say to learn on the job, and isn’t it better to learn building a company from scratch and potentially run it. 

You must be motivated enough to learn about the detailed aspects of technical development you would otherwise simply ignore. Product building aside, management, and organization are some of the most crucial lessons to learn from the entrepreneurial experience.

The beauty of starting your own startup is to be forced into doing things you have always feared trying. So, what’s stopping you now from taking your first step towards your entrepreneurial journey?
