What is the probability that a ´´young student´´ can become an entrepreneur?

What is the probability that a ´´young student´´ can become an entrepreneur?

When everyone is speaking about entrepreneurship and roles of entrepreneur, one question came to my mind: is it possible to anticipate if a ´´young student´´ can become an entrepreneur and state what´s the probability that it will happen so?

I think it is very tough issue and does not have definite answer. Some people are discussing whether MBA students possess entrepreneurial skills and are motivated to take high risks in future. Others, talk about major characteristics of entrepreneurs as key issue in entrepreneurship. Nevertheless, no one stressed on if it’s likely to foresee a person´s entrepreneurial abilities and chances. As for me, it might be possible when it comes to persons who already have managerial position and sufficient observation can be made on his/her work history and personal traits. But when it come to ´´young student´´, with little work experience and educational history, we may not be able to anticipate his/her future entrepreneurial chances and affirm the probability, respectively.

Due to the high importance of this issue, I would like comments and further discussions.
