The article below begins by touching on something that we discussed in our very first class: that when we look at the statistics, real entrepreneurs tend to be older than we expect.  But this article raises the question about whether millenials will ever become entrepreneurs at all. One reason our generation might have lower rates of entrepreneurial behavior is our debt.  We simply cannot afford the risks associated with starting a new business. Another issue not really addressed in this article, but something worth thinking about, is the low rate of home ownership and its impact upon the potential to become entrepreneurs.  Like the entrepreneurs in emerging economies, young Americans might not have physical collateral necessary to secure loans.
