Starting one’s own venture is becoming a more and more popular career choice among Harvard students, a trend that is likely aided by the fact that entrepreneurs are in complete control of their own employment. But while post-college entrepreneurs are able to concentrate on their ventures as their primary occupation, Harvard students face a completely different experience because of the role...
