When it comes to student jobs, the status quo is to start at the bottom of a company and play it safe. Getting coffees, spending long hours on tedious data entry, and doing whatever their boss asks, all in the name of “experience”. But each year, some students decide to challenge the status quo and start their own business. One way to do this is with a company called College Pro, which offers students the opportunity to be an entrepreneur for a summer. With College Pro, students run a window cleaning business while receiving sales and leadership training, ongoing mentorship from a dedicated coach. and being with a community of like-minded student entrepreneurs. Many successful entrepreneurs have gotten their start by running a business with College Pro, including Kimbal Musk, Elon’s brother.
