Should university students star their own business as soon as they graduate from university

Should university students star their own business as soon as they graduate from university?

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m honored to stand this stage. In my opinion, it is not a wise choice for university students to star their own business as soon as they graduate from university. The reasons are listed as follows:

Firstly, we lack social experience and relative business experience. Actually, at school, we do not have enough chance to put what we have learned in class into practice. As Bruce Lee said: Knowing is not enough, we must apply; washing is not enough, we must do. Suppose you, a 24 year-old handsome boy/beautiful girl, full of ambitions, are going to participate a interview, while ,the interviewer think you are too young to do nothing, and you looks just like a high school student. Then how big opportunity that you think you can get the job? The answer is very clear, because they do not to want to take a risk with their money, Let alone start our own business. There is something that we must experience by ourselves. Only in this way, can we gradually become mature and feel something.

Secondly, we lack interpersonal relationships, while it plays a critic role to star business. Nobody is omnipotent, that is to say, without help from others, we hardly can do it successfully just by ourselves alone. It can give us all kinds of useful information. At home, you live together with

your parents; at school, you study with your classmates, learn knowledge from your teachers; In the future, you will work with your colleagues. All of these are our interpersonal relationships. In addition, just like Chen anzhi (陈安之),one of the greatest elocutionists(演说家) in Asia, ever said interpersonal relationships do not just say “hello”, but he/she believe you whatever you say. Without it, we hardly can do anything. Only with the help of your interpersonal relationships, can we have possibility to lay a foundation to start our own business.

Thirdly, we lack venture capital funds to start our business. While we may be able to get a business loans from government, it is still far away to start our own business. In addition, there are still many certificates or licenses that we must take into consideration, such as Business Licenses of Individual Industrial, Social Security Registration Certificate, Tax Registration Certificate and so forth. Even though small rice noodle store, it also needs Sanitation Licenses. If you want to join in Huize Potato store, it needs franchise free at least 50 to 70 thousand￥. All above mentioned require a large sum of money. To some extent, society is cruelty, we do not live in fairy tales. Based on related statistics showed that the successful rate of university students start business is only 2%.

To a conclusion, it is not a wise choice for university students to start their own business as soon as they graduate from university. That’s all, thank you very much!
