Consider the course readings to date, life experience, and experience you have that is relevant to entrepreneurship. Assume I have assigned an undergraduate student, studying entrepreneurship, for you to mentor during his/her final semester of college. The student is contemplating starting a business right out of college or getting experience working for a company in the same industry in which he/she wants to start a business.

Write a professional letter to the student that includes the following items:

(1) Things he/she may want to consider as it relates to the pros/cons of each option.

(2) What the individual can expect (realistically) should he/she choose the path of starting his/her own business.

(3) What the individual can expect (realistically) should he/she choose the path of gaining outside experience first.

(4) Questions he/she will want to ask himself/herself and seek answers to.

(5) A personal story, from your experience, that is intended to help the student process the decision.

(6) Additional advice you believe is essential for this individual to consider before making his/her decision.
