The Job Market
Thinking about starting your own business? You are in good company. According to the SBA, small businesses provide approximately 75 percent of the net new jobs added to the economy. They represent 99.7 percent of all employers, employ 50.1 percent of the private work force and represent 97 percent of all U.S. exporters. Some of the most common reasons for starting a business are: self-management; financial independence; creative freedom; and full use of personal skills and knowledge.
While the Certificate is a good start, graduates holding an AS Degree will have an advantage in proving their capability and commitment to lenders and potential business partners.
