Penelope Trunk, writing in the Boston Globe: For younger professionals, ‘entrepreneur’ isn’t a bad word anymore.
"It used to be that people started out in a large company, and after ten
or fifteen years of little fulfillment, they tried entrepreneurship as
a way to get out of a bad spot. Today, many young people recognize the
downsides of corporate life right off the bat, and according to the
Entrepreneur’s Organization of Alexandria, Va. the most common age for
starting a business has shifted from 35-45 to under 34."A new view of entrepreneurship has swept through a generation that has
seen its parents’ loyalty rewarded with layoffs and parents’ pensions
destroyed with impunity."
