Running your own business is a real career path, but in the Caribbean context traditional classrooms and curriculum aren’t set up for future entrepreneurs. Emphasis tends to be on training students to be employees and rule-followers, not preparing them to be leaders or to launch their own ventures. For sure, when we speak of rule followers we are not talking about the law, we are talking about following the norm of doing things the same way they have always been done even when the results are not giving the desired outcome. The outcome we need is economic growth and individual prosperity.
