San Jose Business Journal:

Two-thirds of Americans have entrepreneurial aspirations, and a growing number of baby boomers say they would never be too old to launch a business, according to a Yahoo Inc. poll released on Wednesday.

The poll by Sunnyvale-based Yahoo Small Business (NASDAQ:YHOO) showed 55 percent of respondents chose “own my own business” as the kind of work they would prefer to do late in life. Other choices included volunteer work/public service, 42 percent; consulting, 29 percent; teaching, 20 percent; and coming in at less than 15 percent were running for political office, retail/customer service, corporate officer and sales.
