There's usually somebody on the internet who can dispute anything said with authority by someone else. For instance, "millennials are entrepreneurial." That's widely thought to be true - except by this author at Entrepreneur magazine:
"Millennials . . are less interested in becoming successful entrepreneurs than baby boomers were when they were the same age. The share of college freshmen that said “becoming successful in a business of my own” was “essential” or “very important” to them dropped from 47.9 percent in 1977 to 41.2 percent in 2012."
So . . yesterday's point is refuted today?
Another interesting stat given in the article: "The average profits of a sole proprietorship – which account for three-quarter of all small businesses – dropped 28 percent in inflation-adjusted terms between 1980 and 2011 . . "
I should look into the "why" for that.
