TV Turning Youth in Entrepreneurs
TV shows like The Apprentice and Dragons’ Den are turning Britain’s youngsters into entrepreneurs, official statistics reveal.The programmes featuring charismatic tycoons and wannabe businessmen and women are helping to create a new generation of whiz kids who want to make millions by creating their own companies.
Seven out of ten young entrepreneurs claim Sir Alan Sugar’s hit show The Apprentice — which starts a new series tomorrow night — and programmes like Dragons’ Den have influenced them to become their own boss.
Nearly 2,000 new businesses are now created in Britain EVERY DAY, with one in ten entrepreneurs leaving school at 16 to work for themselves.

That’s a very interesting statistic. TV does encourage people to do a lot of things.
We had Dragon’s Den appear in Australia but it was very short lived. I never had the time to watch it. Does it mean that there is little interest in entrepreneurship in Australia, or that the show was just pure rubbish?
