My cousin just graduated from college and she is having a hard time now deciding which path to take. Her parents want her to go find a job. But my cousin wants to have her own business. She's confused now and need some advice. She was stuck at home infront of her pc because she doesn't want to apply for a job. She wants to have business but her parents is not supporting her and she have no idea how to start without her parents support. What can you advice to her? What can u say about her parents?

I feel sorry for your cousin. It hurts knowing that her parents does not support her. I suggest that she have to follow what she really likes. Working is not good when you dont like the job so its useless for her to follow her parents. Tell her to pursue what she feels like doing.

Yes, I pity her. I agree about what you said that working is not good if you dont like the job. I believe one must really love what he/she is doing. Thank you for your suggestion.

well first she must agreed to what her parents desire she must get a job and saved for the future if she thinks she have enough financil capabilities then she can put up a business of her own...her parents would agree in the long run i guess ..its her money shes trying to invest on....maybe her parents have not enough money for the business shes planning to put up...

hi your cousin should follow what she wants. she should start doing things to go on with what she wants rather than staying at home. she should take the first step.

She is too young to start a business on her own. She needs to get a job in the market that she would like to run a business in someday. Work and gain knowledge from those around her. Going to college does not teach real life experience. If all she can do is sit in front of her computer because her parents won't give her money for her dream then she really isn't grown up enough to handle the responsiblities of business.

Thank you for your reply. You are right. She have to get a job first before running a business. The problem is she is a graduate of a good school here in our country and people here expects for the graduates to be inside the office. She wants to have an internet shop business. I dont think that she can work there because here in our country mostly those who haven't graduated are the people who usually works there.
