We’re letting down our entrepreneurial students
(Jan. 13, 2014) -- According to the survey, 17 percent of all middle school and high school students say they work at least one hour weekly. With little exposure to the workforce, few youth have any experience at all in the workforce or that would help them build a business later in their lives, Gallup noted.
In other words, less than one in six high school students works more than one hour a week for a business. While the other 83 percent may be engaged in some sort of altruistic volunteer work experience, I suspect most are sitting at home in front of some sort of video screen allowing their minds to be entertained.
