Every year as many of America’s most talented college graduates search for their niche in the post-college world, they are forced to decide between two alluring career paths. The first is accepting a high-paying job with a well-established corporation. The second is joining the ranks of a fledgling startup: a high-risk, high-reward option that offers the opportunity to see first-hand how innovators and entrepreneurs build a company from scratch.
In a recent Fast Company article, expert blogger Kerrin Sheldon gives 8 reasons why recent grads should choose a startup gig over an offer from a large corporation:
1. You’ll have more responsibility.
2. You’ll be given more opportunities.
3. You’ll be able to do a lot of different things.
4. You will learn from true innovators.
5. Your work will be recognized (as will your failures).
6. You’ll work in an awesome atmosphere.
7. You’ll learn to be frugal.
8. You’ll be instilled with the value of hard work, ownership, and self-sustainability.
