Career Enjoyment: entrepreneur

An entrepreneur is someone who starts a new business in an untried or untested area. People are rarely employed as entrepreneurs - rather, they usually set up their own company using a new idea, and taking upon themselves the financial risk of success or failure. This career tends to have salaries in the range £0-100k (based on research in the UK). Typically, therefore, it has a high earnings potential.
