I disagree that every bachelor degree in Indonesia should be an entrepreneur

To become an entrepreneur, people should have several core characteristics. Brave is not the only answer in order to be an entrepreneur. Those who want to be an entrepreneur need a good connections in daily relationships, have the ability to see the opportunities around them and a strong mentality that ready to face the fact. If the person who want to be an entrepreneur not have these core characteristics, I think he or she is not qualified enough to become an entrepreneur.

First, those who want to be an entrepreneur need a good connections in daily relationships. However, as the God created a human with the different characteristic, each people have different character with the other. For example, an introvert and extrovert person. As if the person is an introvert person, he or she can not gain a good connections in daily relationships easily. Accroding to personality psychology, someone with the introvert psychology tend to be quite in all of the situation and domain in reserved and introspective(“Psychology,” n.d.). In short, the statement which stated that every bachelor degree in Indonesia should be an entrepreneur is hardly be implemented in this case, due to the different character of man that created by God.

 Second, those who want to  be an entrepreneur should have enough “believe” to see the opportunities in front. In Hebrew chapter 11 verse 1 stated that “now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen”(By Faith, n.d.). By this means, according to the bible said about “faith” it is clear enough that, when you have enough “believe” or “faith”, it will settle confidence that something in the future – something that is not yet seen will surely come in His time. The candidate of the entrepreneur should questioning themself first before they want to be an entrepreneur. For example, “Do I have enough faith so that when I open this business later on, this business will run smoothly?” This kind of abilities which can see the opportunities (confidence in the future) is very rare seen in today’s youth. Almost all the first thing that come out from their tought is “how can I become richer in a second?” not “Is there any opportunities (believe / faith) in front?”.

Third, a strong mentality to face the fact is also one of requirement to be an entrepreneur. Looking in nowadays youth in Indonesia, many of them do not have a strong mentality to face the fact. According to the searching in the internet, there are still mumerous people who do not want in facing the fact. Take an example when these bachelor degree want to make a thesis in the end of the semester. When it comes to the thesis, they just want to finish the thesis as soon as possible without considering the process in making the thesis, and by that they are cheating (2015).

Due to Brown and Ward, youth especially should become an entrepreneur (Brown, 2013; “Can Anybody Be an Entrepreneur?,” 2012). However, not all the bachelor degree in Indonesia have a core characteristic as been stated above.

In conclusion, according to Meriam Webster, the word of “should” have several meanings. First, used in auxiliart function to express obligation, propriety, or expediency. Second, used in auxiliary function to express futurity from a point of view in the past. Third, used in auxiliary function to express condition. Fourth, used in auxiliary function to express what is probable or expected. Fifth, used in auxiliary function to express a request in a polite manner or to soften direct statement.(“Meriam Webster,” n.d.) With all of the definition above, the first definition is the most fit definition in this case. Anybody can be an entrepreneur, but not everyone should be an entrepreneur.
