Last time i started a discussion here about me being an entrepreneur, now im already graduating in a few weeks. i passed to 2 universities with different courses. one is entrepreneurship in UA&P and the other is in De La Salle University with an industrial engineering course. What i really want is go for entrepreneurship, problem is i dont have a capital, coz were just in middle class type family. we earn but were not that rich. SO here's my question again, do i have to have a capital when i go for entrepreneruship? and if not, can i apply as an employee to other companies? if yes, what possible position can i get? with a degree of entrepreneurial management. please help me..

You don't necessarily need much money to get started as an entrepreneur. You need a business idea and the commitment to do what it takes to put it into effect. A lot of really successful people started off with next to nothing. It seems to me that reading a few entrepreneurs' autobiographies may be better preperation for that kind of life than any course you can go on. And there's certainly no harm taking a job until you feel ready to strike out on your own - you'll be building up experience and hopefully saving a bit of money, so you can't lose.

Congratulations! I think you should go for Entrepreneurship in UA&P. It's what you really want anyway. I don't think you need to have the money for start-up already. You will learn about many ways to get money for capital. They will teach you that. Then you will know your options. It's still best to have the knowledge of going about starting a business so that you will can formulate an educated plan on how to do it. If all else fails and you end up working for a company, you can still use what you've learned. You can start at any entry level position and work your way up to manager. Go for it, dude! 
Study well so that you will be ready to face the world after you graduate.

Well, in my opinion you can get the enterpreneurial management. It is what you really want , so go for it. Then after graduating you can apply in big companies.
Then, from your salary you can save for your future business. A lot of businessman started like that. Small business at first , then they go big eventually.

You dont have to capital to be an entrepreneur but it will help. People such as Richard Branson and sir Alan Sugar are both self made millionaires and they started of from nothing. They achieved there goals through good business knowledge and common sense.

Hey look at Richard Brandson....he only started off his career as a dj..lol now he has done pretty well don't you think? considering he is dislexic. If you have that will power and goal, and you sound like a very clever guy, you will find a way if you are determined enough. Good luck! :0)
