This is what I want to get out of the Entrepreneurship and Technology course.

I would like to discover what the options look like between being just an employee to being a full business owner.  What options are there for taking an idea and turning it into a business.  And learn about if and when a particular course is the best one.

The idea of owning and operating a business scares the crap out of me.   What if I fail?  How will I pay my mortgage and send my kids to college when the money is not rolling in?  What if I don't feel like working 80 hours a week?  What if?  What if?

The idea of being an employee and not being an employee scares the crap out of me.  I don't like the idea of not being in control of my destiny, so to speak.  What happens if and when I get laid off?  I know what happens and I know what it's like, and it sucks.

So, ultimately I'm hoping to gain a better understanding of myself, and what course I am best suited for.  And hopefully, if and when I make the decision to launch my own project, I'll be better equipped to get started.
