The pros and cons of starting a business for college students outweigh the cons: I will further summarize our views below:
1. The pros and cons of entrepreneurship that we emphasize focus on the process, not the results. We admit that for college students who are still in the ivory tower, starting their own business does face many difficulties, such as: lack of funds and energy, and the risk of entrepreneurial failure, etc. However, what we are going to talk about today is a comparative proposition of pros and cons. The success or failure of the final result and the size of entrepreneurial performance are not necessarily related to the pros and cons of entrepreneurship. Success in entrepreneurship is naturally a happy event, but even failure can be regarded as an advantage. It outweighs the disadvantages, and it is also a kind of life training. Why not take a leisurely walk, put theory into practice, recognize your own strengths and weaknesses, and set a good direction for the next period of recharge and study? (Are the national annual entrepreneurship competition and our school’s Challenge Cup competition just to see what kind of magnificent achievements the students have achieved? No. After all, only a few win the prize.) The key is to participate in it and advocate students’ theories. Connect with practice, apply what you learn, discover blind spots and dead ends in your own learning in entrepreneurship, further improve your abilities, and transform academic knowledge into actual production. Isn’t it true that what our current universities lack is the ability to transform scientific research into actual productivity?
2. College students have more entrepreneurial advantages than the average person. College students already have enough ability and brains to start their own businesses, and now the country has also introduced policies to encourage college students to start businesses and turn the book knowledge they have learned into productivity. Tsinghua University and Beihang University have entrepreneurship research centers. Zhu Kezhen College specializes in organizing students from various departments who are both good in character and academic in all aspects and have strong activity abilities into a class to cultivate their entrepreneurial abilities in addition to their professional knowledge. (It can be seen that the country, society and schools have given high tolerance and preferential policies to college students' entrepreneurship.) Moreover, even if the entrepreneurship fails, college students do not have to be as embarrassed as people in society. They can still be in class after the storm. Continue reading and studying to try again in the future. Because after all, they are young and can bear or tolerate failure without thinking too much about utilitarian results. In today's society, it has become a social problem for college students to find employment after graduation. Since we have the ability to be our own boss, why do we have to sharpen our brains to squeeze into the talent market instead of playing a role in our future career while we are still in school? What about the gorgeous overture?
3. College student entrepreneurship can cultivate the spirit of cooperation and comprehensive ability. In 2002, UNESCO proposed that the “third passport” of learning is entrepreneurial ability. Starting a business for college students does not mean giving up the opportunity to learn. College students are about to enter the society. Starting a business can enable college students to learn things that cannot be learned in the classroom in society, the university of life, and more knowledge can be learned in society. As the saying goes: A shopping mall is like a battlefield. And the sense of competition, opportunity, challenge, cooperation, risk, and the perseverance and spirit that college students gain from entrepreneurship will benefit them throughout their lives, right?
4. College student entrepreneurship can build high-knowledge teams and promote healthy competition in the technology market. According to a report from Xinhuanet, more than 80% of the technological achievements of companies started by college students are relatively advanced. And precisely because college students are a special cultural group, they have more advantages to practice what they have learned, develop and utilize their own technical expertise. If they do not have certain technical characteristics and cannot reach a certain level, it is impossible for anyone to invest in them. , they cannot survive. Today's social entrepreneurship focuses on the interaction of science and technology and the combination of theory and practice. This high-tech entrepreneurship among college students can drive the improvement of enterprises in the entire society and create a good atmosphere that emphasizes technology and knowledge in the entire market. Aren’t the flaming college students with brilliant youth bringing a revolution to the Chinese market?
The progress of society is ultimately the progress of people, and the progress of people is the development of people. Today, as we stand at the starting point of the 21st century, what we feel is a sense of history and responsibility for the rapid development of Chinese society.
As college students in modern society, we have courage, knowledge, brains, and ability. (As China enters the door of the WTO, as foreign culture changes our lives step by step, as social opportunities and challenges are further (increasing,) we can start our own business and achieve our dreams. What we need is not only smart brains and rich textbook knowledge, but also valuable social practice and entrepreneurial experience. We need to do it and do it. Finally, let us remember the famous saying of Archimedes: "Give me a pole and a fulcrum, and I will hold up the earth!
So, what are the ways for college students to learn entrepreneurial knowledge?
Path 1: University classrooms, university libraries and university clubs. Entrepreneurs can acquire excellent professional knowledge through classroom learning, which will benefit them immensely in the entrepreneurial process; university libraries can usually find newspapers and periodicals on entrepreneurial guidance.

If it is not enough, it is not too late to work in a physical unit for a few years and accumulate a certain amount of knowledge and experience before starting a business.
After students who first find employment and then start a business change jobs, they usually work on entrepreneurial projects in their past jobs. In the process of preparing to start a business, you can use the opportunity to communicate with your boss to gain more entrepreneurial knowledge from the market.
Path 5: Entrepreneurship Practice
The real entrepreneurial practice begins when entrepreneurial awareness emerges. Entrepreneurial practice for college students is the best way to learn entrepreneurial knowledge.
Indirect entrepreneurial practice learning can mainly rely on the roles and roles of certain courses held by the school. For example, actively participate in various college student entrepreneurship competitions, business plan competitions, invention patent exhibition competitions, industrial design competitions, etc. held both inside and outside the school, and conduct systematic research on the growth experiences of leading entrepreneurs and business cases of leading enterprises. etc. also belong to the category of indirect learning.
Direct entrepreneurial practical learning can mainly be done through part-time work after school or holidays, job search experience, participation in planning, participation in market research, pilot company, and trial application for patents (intellectual property rights). Bureau), trial copyright registration (Copyright Office), trial trademark application (Industrial and Commercial Bureau), part-time participation in certain vocational knowledge and certificate class training, etc.; it can also be completed by organizing creative project activities, participating in or visiting the Hi-Tech Fair exhibition , create e-commerce websites, plan book publishing matters, try to be a freelance writer, etc. to complete it in various ways.
In short, entrepreneurial knowledge widely exists in college students’ perspectives of study and life. As long as they are good at learning, they can always find ways to display their talents. But in a society flooded with information, it is also important to “remove the rough and select the essential, and discard the false and retain the true.” Being good at learning and summarizing is always the motto of a winner.
