Quickly, I'll say the other side of it.
I love data.
And I'm looking at the data at the moment of 700,000 university students that have come out of university with an on average debt, 58,000 pounds, spent four years of their life in university, promised a job.
No job.
They can't find a job.
700,000 kids.
There are 9,500 graduate jobs for those kids.
Okay.
So there's not enough jobs.
And they're sitting there, many on social benefit, very talented, probably a lot of them are your listeners, ready to go.
and the job doesn't exist.
So my argument now, and I've been making this argument for six years, but now I've got data to back me up.
We want to give people the chance to create their own job until they find one.
Let's put it that way.
Until they find the safe job with the perfect boss and the perfect customers, great.
But we want to give people a chance to create their own job.

You and I are operating, I've got investors in my businesses.
Sure, we're operating a different type of entrepreneurship, but there's different types of entrepreneurship.
