While entrepreneurship is important, it is most relevant to the business realm. As I experienced, there is often too much of a focus on students who want to study business; a mentality that this is the most important stream, the best choice for an undergrad degree. This comment portrays Crescent as a business school, and many students do not have the interest - even if they have the skills - to pursue this path. We're not a business school. We're a school where many graduates choose to enter the field of business and commerce, but to elevate one particular thing, like entrepreneurship, over everything else does a disservice to those students who do not wish to follow that path.

Entrepreneurship is a key driver of our economy and our boys should be aware of entrepreneurial career options. To harness your knowledge and passion to identify opportunities to maximize economic, social and personal success requires the character and grit and resilience we speak of. It may be that our boys will achieve professional and personal success in a much less traditional or conventional way than we did. In my opinion, this should be investigated further.

I also think that entrepreneurship is an emerging interdisciplinary knowledge area worth considering alongside engineering, personal finance, wellness, and social systems (sociology, psychology, anthropology).

It is essential to creativity that one view problems as opportunities, rather than unshakable hindrances. Furthermore, the ability to view things hyper-critically, where others accept them as matter as fact, is essential to recognizing problems. This mindset, commonly branded as "design thinking", is essential to providing improvement to the individual and society, on both professional and personal levels. In an increasingly competitive and volatile world, this attribute is absolutely the most important.
