Abstract
The study examined the differences between youth entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs. The hand-delivered descriptive survey addressed differences by type of work structure, income derived from employment, age, gender, grade level, grade point average, health and fitness habits, and social skills. Findings suggest younger adolescents were more likely to be youth entrepreneurs, youth entrepreneurs tended to rate their organization and time-management skills lower than non entrepreneurs, youth entrepreneurs tended to rate their leadership skills lower than non-entrepreneurs, and youth entrepreneurs are more likely to assist with community service projects.
