J: I want something more challenging.

S: Like what?

J: to run my own business and be my own boss.

S: why do you want to start your own business? Students of your major can easily land a job nowadays.

J: well, I hate being controlled by others,and I don’t want to start at the bottom of a steep corporate ladder.

S: I don’t mean to discourage you,but do you know that most new business fail?are you fully prepared?

J: sure I am. To avoid risk, I’ll start by opening a small online store in order to make the first bucket of gold of my life.

S: that’s down-to-earth. The profits may be low,but you don’t have to put in too much overhead.

J: yeah, I can work at home, saving the cost of renting an office. And I don’t have to hire an extra hand unless I’m extremely busy.

S: good, in that way,little by little, you can accumulate enough start-up investment for your own company.
