Social Studies: Careers, Enterprises and Entrepreneurs.

 What is a career? A career is an affair that is undertaken by someone for a large amount of time in their lives. These careers give the person opportunities to progress through their undertaken career. A career is a learning experience, a journey through life, work and other forms of life. All people that undergo some sort of work experience are in a particular career within the work industry, whether it is professional, or not. Whether it requires a lot of training or a minimal amount of training. A career is often mixed up with a job. The difference is that a job is more short term and thought of for earning money instead of fulfilling one’s happiness in terms of a career. A career is a particular segment of the work industry that contains similar employment opportunities that provide you with plenty of experience for your future. Your career choice helps you acquire a better salary and “living status.” An example of a career is: Lucy wanted to pursue a career in business, so she took Social Sciences, Statistics, Accounting, Business Management and Marketing.

What is an Enterprise? An enterprise is a large project, one that takes up a significant amount of time and effort. Enterprises are often big and bold, even complex. An enterprise is also commonly known as a business. An enterprise is a new start up business, someone is taking the initiative to start a business like a company, business, organization or other resolute venture. How you build up your own enterprise is to create a clear purpose for your business/company/organization, then start building on what you already have and know. Start launching different opportunities, develop your supportive troupe, then maximise all of your available resources. For example Ayla buys a twelve pack of eggs for $6.90. She then sells each egg for 80c, therefore she makes $9.60 ($2.70 profit). She then buys the exact same packet of eggs from the store, and does the same thing. She pays $6.90 for the eggs and once again sells each egg for 80c gaining $2.70. $5.40 profit from buying and selling two packets of eggs.

What is an Entrepreneur? An entrepreneur is someone who makes the effort to set up a business/company/organization with high financial risks in the hopes of gaining a large amount of profit. An entrepreneur is someone who puts enterprises into action; as one can see from the word resemblance. Walt Disney for example; he turned his passion/hobby into a business, in this case drawing and producing films. This was a big risk back in those days as TV’s were very expensive, TV entertainment was not a big factor within past society.
