<p>I'm interested in business for the future, however, I was unable to take DECA or Academy of Finance next year due to scheduling conficts. The only other business related thing my school offers is BPA. What else can I do to show that I have a passion for business?</p>
<p>Create an account on a stock simulation game, then include your 1500% increase portfolio (stocks only, options are for newbs) in your application.</p>
<p>On a more serious note. You can try to create your own business. The only problem is getting the money to start one. I have a friend who started a shirt designing business called EuNeekz (yoo-neekz). His dad is super rich though.</p>
<p>Yea, I’m not that much help.</p>
<p>haha, well im not super rich and can’t randomly get money to start my own business. so that could possibly be a problem. :).</p>
<p>any other realistic suggestions?</p>
<p>Start your own business…
I’m not kidding. I’m planning on possible starting one this summer and a friend of mine who is at MIT now started his own electronics business junior/senior year.
And you don’t need money to start your own business. Do you do web design? Can you sell papers/documents/plans/instructions for something? This can all be done online - for free. In fact, you’ll probably start making some money off of it…</p>
<p>Actually in about 7th/8th grade I made a bunch of computer games and I posted them on a website for sale (with source code included). It was more of a test, and I never intended anyone to even look at the page, let alone buy anything (it was a FreeWebs account). But about a week later, someone tried to purchase a game. I didn’t take his money, but I gave him the game and then took the website down until I could actually make a serious business (like this summer…)</p>
<p>im electronically ■■■■■■■■ aka i can’t do anything on the computer, like selling sites or computer games. lol.</p>
<p>Why don’t you start writing your own magazine about something you really enjoy? You can start small (just you) and deliver it to friends/relatives (but they have to pay!). Then bring in (aka hire) some friends to do additional reporting. You’ll get experience setting up a business and managing people…</p>
<p>im not into writing. lol. im a pretty picky person.</p>
<p>Sooo… what are your interests? That could help us help you…</p>
<p>If you have no interests, then stop worrying about running a business and/or getting business experience. Find something that interests you and then find a business internship in that field…</p>
<p>Be the middle man for an import-export business. This is pretty much business and accounting in its purest form. You’ll need at least a thousand dollars and a garage for storage.</p>
<p>^ sounds sketchy to the extreme =P</p>
<p>im interested in sports, debate, marketing, finance, math, and clothes.</p>
<p>Well webdesign would REALLY help you right now (you should probably learn it - it is VERY easy, especially with Dreamweaver). But why don’t you create a business where you work as a marketing consultant? Offer to help local small businesses advertise or even rearrange their store?</p>
