Why not? Who wants to work for someone else if you have the chance to work for yourself? This course will give you the knowledge and confidence to start your own business. It may be that the business completely supports you, it may be that it is a side hustle that pays for a car of holidays. It may be something you do to pay for your way through university. Whatever you choose there is nothing quite like creating your own wealth and employing other people.
