So...I'm not sure the point you wish to make with that graph. I think you mean to say that Millennials may not be pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities because of the skyrocketing price of college tuition. If that is your reasoning, I have two points about that. Please correct me if I misinterpreted your point.

1. You don't really need post high school education to start your own business. In fact, some of the most successful businesses out their were started by individuals who were not able to attend school for one reason or other.

2. A quick internet search of "millennials college enrollment" produces thousands of search results that indicate that more Millennials attend/have attended college than any other generation in history. Refer here as one example.

So, I don't think lack of schooling is the reason why they may not pursue entrepreneurial opportunities.

OK, I thought I could make a screen shot and post it here. That didn't work, so, I will try something else.


"> Fact 4: Millennials have invested in human capital more than previous
generations.
More Millennials have a college degree than any other generation of young adults. In 2013, 47 percent
of 25 to 34 year-olds received a postsecondary degree (associates, bachelor’s, or graduate degree) and
an additional 18 percent had completed some postsecondary education, as Figure 6 shows. Also,
because the rate of young workers with some post-secondary education but no degree has been flat
while the share with a degree has risen, more students are completing the degrees they start after
high school.

There we go. Anyway... Just some food for thought.
