I’m graduating in two weeks and I am undecided on what I want to do. Here is what I am considering:

1. Backpack Europe (only have around 3,000 USD)
2. Move to Barcelona, Spain and work/party. But for English speaking Americans I am sure this would be difficult.
3. Join the military. Get in writing that I will be trained in my career choice and will have financial aid when going to college afterwards.
4. Stay in Arizona and work/party, wait a semester then go to a community college.
5. Do volunteer work in some other country.
6. Go on a walkabout in Australia.
7. Kill myself… Kidding :S

I’m not interested in ever having a career. While I would like to be trained/learn about things in life that will help me in my purpose, that doesn’t not mean I want to work/retire/die. I want to be an entrepreneur and create something.

I want to become an entrepreneur in the biotech industry in 5-10 from now. I would like to create a company that creates customizable cure solution and treatment cheaply and for everyone. I believe that Genomics/Proteomics/Informatics/Internet will help us achieve that goal.

Now, I’m just a twentysomething guy who has a bachelor degree in Economics and I work a very big internet company. I do love internet and computer high-tech products, but I can’t see myself doing this forever.

I’m the type of person who likes learning about nutrition and keeping a person looking good. I also like creating products like innovative food products and cosmetic products. I want to sell these products. But i’m scared that it would be hard to earn from a job like that. So my 2nd choice would be to become a hospital dermatologist and if i’m really good i can start my own business of selling beauty products and maybe offer cosmetic surgeries. But if i dont sell products and remain as a hospital dermatologist, will i earn a lot? This is in the philippines.

Please give a good answer to earn 5 star best answer.

Ok! I am not saying that everyone should go for entrepreneurship or it is the only way to Nirvana.  Every person is different and has different qualities which may or may not make him suitable for entrepreneurship. Besides if everyone will become an entrepreneur, then who would work for them!

China blocks millions of websites in the name of trying to curb porn. Curbing free porn on the Internet has led to the development of another economic opportunity for Chinese entrepreneurs who use VPN services to download porn movies and then sell the pirated copies through their agents.

This practice has provided opportunities for thousands (millions?) of otherwise unemployed Chinese to get some sort of employment. Is there any lesson here that US may learn?
