What does an Entrepreneur do, you ask?
Most commonly, they begin their own businesses. They start with an idea, develop it, design it, produce it, market it and then, hopefully, they sell it.

There are also careers available, upon graduation, for those who have earned their Bachelor’s degrees in Entrepreneurship such as, positions in Business Management, Human Resources or Marketing .
