However, I can't say I'll be free this summer because I need to take some credits for my practicum - and I can't take it during the regular semesters. It's true for most colleges here in the Philippines. Coming from my own experience, I can't say that "No Pressure" is something I agree with. That may be true for some people, but I come from a place where there's no such thing as student loans, and that working/entrepreneurial students really NEED to make money to pay for their schooling and living expenses. The good part is we don't need to pay for student loans later on in life ;) As for the easily accessible market, it depends on the business. For my baking/catering business, it works fine because sororities and fraternities are my market. For the web development and web content writing stuff, it's a completely different ballgame. So I guess it's different for everyone everywhere. Opportunities and business models differ greatly all over the world and across different businesses.
