When graduated with an MBA or Bachelor's degree in any business field, is it more beneficial to work at a mid-level firm or large firm if you look to obtain enough capital from your job and then invest into starting your own entrepreneurial enterprise?
I look to graduate with a degree in marketing and would like a job at a sizable firm so I can make money, but once I have worked for 15 to 20 years in corporate industry I want to become an entrepreneur and start my own marketing agency to work with local businesses and eventually move my way up. Would working at a medium sized firm or a large firm be more beneficial for me in the long run to assist in building a business model and learning more about all of the functions of a business to run my own? #marketing #marketing-strategy #business-process #firm
What difficulties do you face in opening a firm after graduating?
I'm currently a civil engineering major and a little torn over if I really want to do this, architectural engineering, or simply become an architect. But I do know that I want to open up an architectural firm of my own. So until I decide what I really do want to do with my degree, what difficulties do you face in opening an architectural firm or just a business in general? How long of a period do you suppose should be given to any business to determine if it will work or not? It must be hard to open up a business right after graduation even after a masters degree, what sort of innovative ideas have you seen to work or tried yourself? What type of promoting have you seen and also thought to have worked? Any other information you provide would gladly be appreciated. #business #engineering #management #civil-engineering #architect #firm
