Abstract

This study attempts to reveal how students at higher education in Indonesia perceived entrepreneurship after graduation. The research method in this study was group discussion between the tutors and the 22 research participants who were at the final year of their vocational higher education study in Indonesia. A set of questionnaires were also distributed to them find out about whether they would prefer initiating entrepreneurship to jobs seeking and what they would expect to do after graduation. Findings showed that these 22 research participants tend to prioritize jobs seeking with a company in line with their higher education qualification and to have their career path to comply with their profession instead of initiating entrepreneurship. This implicates that entrepreneurship is still being the second career priority for most higher education students in Indonesia compared with jobs seeking after their study completion.
