In this global situation, it is the entrepreneur who could change the
global economic landscape. One thing that we can do is strengthen the
domestic economy by creating quality and marketable products. We need to
focus on areas where business opportunities are open to small and medium
enterprises.
Entrepreneurship is the process of setting up a business or the creation of
value to gain profit. An Entrepreneur is an individual who creates a new
business, an innovator, a source of new ideas, goods, and services.
Our country is on the road to agricultural development to provide
enough food, which is essential to this pandemic to support the community's
health needs and create our food at home. The farmers are still the backbone
of our economic development.

Let us explore at the sample field of interest and the entrepreneurial

venture associated with Entrepreneurship as a Career

Job Opportunities
Entrepreneurship can somehow help the Philippine economy to uplift its
performance in terms of providing job opportunities. It is a reality that the
industries and institutions could not accommodate the growing employable
people. Most still receive the minimum wages that barely support the needs of
five family members, which measures the community's buying capacity.

What are the different careers in Entrepreneurship?

A career in entrepreneurship can be made in virtually any field,
depending on your interests. Since entrepreneurs can exist in any economic
sector, there is a vast and almost never-ending list of paths to choose from.

Entrepreneurial Job Opportunity

1. Online retail consigner
§ If you have a camera, a computer or a smartphone, and a real fashion,
you can incorporate them and start your own online business. Start by

5
 gathering all the old clothes you have hoarded over the years and no
longer wear and take professional pictures of them.
§ You could either post your items on Facebook or create your store
through Lazada or Shopee. The earning opportunities with this type of
business venture are endless, and best of all, you do not have to limit
yourself to just clothes. You could also sell children’s accessories, garden
equipment, golds, perfumes, fruits, vegetables, seafood, meats, frozen
foods, and much more.
2. Editor
§ All you need is a computer and skills in communication. You can accept
different research papers or books where you can provide editorial
services.
3. Graphic designer
§ If you are creative, have a computer, and have the know-how to use
design software, freelance graphic design can be an excellent way to
make a living. Digital businesses are on the rise, and with that comes a
higher demand for logos, website design, and other marketing materials.
4. Photographer
§ Photography is something that many people regard as their hobby, but
in fact, it can become a career by setting up a Photo Shop. If you have
a camera and your friends often ask you to take pictures at their events,
you likely have what it takes to turn your hobby into your career.
5. Farmer
§ Agricultural businesses such as rice, fruits, and vegetable growers are
also a popular business set up wherein those who can provide the needs
of the people through selling their products from the farm to sustain the
economy. Wherein the entrepreneur can earn a profit and become an
innovator by using modern farming technology could be an
entrepreneurial venture in the country's economic development.
6. Manufacturer of cashew products or seafood products
§ Those engaged in producing products from cashews such as roasted,
brittle, honey glazed or sugar-coated nuts, and cashew nut butter and
seafood products such as fish into fish balls, squid into squid balls, tuna
into flakes in a can, seaweeds into gelatin, and many more wherein
creativity and innovation is necessary to create a product that the
market will love to taste.
7. Animal lover
§ Those who love to care for a pet, such as dogs, fish in the aquarium, love
birds, rabbits, and Chinese chicken wherein they can also sell
accessories, vitamins, foods for the pet, and other essential needs of the
pet can start a pet store business or Pet Shop.

6
8. Beautician
§ A person who establishes barbershops, spas, salons, parlors, and
massage provides essential pampering and is an important part of self-
care.
9. Caterer and Baker
§ A person or company that provides food and drink at a gathering.
Those individuals who love to bake cakes, cookies, cook different dishes,
and mixed flavored beverages in an event can generate a profit out of
their talents and skills in line with it, including designing and decorating
a venue.
10. Dressmaker and Tailor
§ Another avenue for creating a dress shop, tailoring shop, and fabric
stores wherein the talents and skills can turn into a living. At the same
time, they can supply ready-to-wear to merchandising businesses or
boutiques.

These are just a few of the job opportunities an entrepreneur can

become as a career choice. There are so many fields of expertise that can
turn into a business, which is why senior high school students discover, explore,
and start making ideas to research, develop, and create a business plan for
their future.

Entrepreneurial Traits
Try looking around, and you would find certain entrepreneurs doing
exceedingly well. The question is, what does it take to be a successful
