Majority of Teens Interested in Starting Their Own Business
Overwhelmingly, teens indicated they would like to start their own business someday, with 70.9 percent affirming their interest in becoming entrepreneurs, according to a new poll of teens released by Junior Achievement Worldwide.
The percentage of students interested in starting their own businesses is up from 64 percent in 2004. The most popular type of business, selected by 32.4 percent of respondents, is “professional services,” such as a lawyer, insurance agent, or accountant. Teens believe the greatest motivator for starting a business is to “have a great idea/want to see it in action” (48.2 percent), followed by “to earn more than they could working for someone else,” selected by 25.6 percent.
