Professor: As I briefly mentioned in class last week, starting a small business involves both risks and rewards. So let’s explore this topic a little more. Before we meet again next week, I would like your response to this question: If you were offered a position with a large company and an opportunity to start your own business, which would you choose? Why?
Jack: I would definitely prefer employment at a large company because it would provide a regular salary and benefits such as health insurance and retirement options. I would also have more predictable hours. Starting a business would be more than I would want to take on, especially at this stage of my career.
Emily: I’ve always been more of a risk-taker, so the idea of starting a business appeals to me. Once the business was off the ground, it would offer greater potential for higher income. I’m not afraid to work hard, and I really like making my own decisions, which I would be able to do as an owner.
