I agree completely - there are definitely things that can be taught, but that inner desier, the fuel to not take the "normal" path in life that everyone else does has to come from within. You have to be willing to sacrifice immensely to become an entrepreneur - but once you have that will and desire, a great internship, class, or role model entrepreneur can save tons of time and teach a great deal. Personally, I have experienced each of those things and I don't know where I would be without them.

Every individual is inbued with the motivation and impulse that drive towards the search for economic success and independence.Whereas, in some, these qualities lie moribund and unprovoked, in others, they are recognized and stimulated to the extent of being transformed into viable business ideas and goals.The later could be assisted through entrepreneurship training to become more familiar with the conpetences expected of a real business man in order to achieve sustainable growth in thier businesses.The former should be left alone.In summary, how to be or how not to be an entrepreneur should not be considered a teaching subject.
