You Should Consider Buying a Small Business

Ruback, Richard S., and Royce Yudkoff. (2017)

But When? hbr.org digital article, February 15, 2017

On the timing of a search relative to graduation. Visible text reports the authors' classroom tally: "Each year roughly a third of the 80 or so students decide to begin their search right after graduation; a third decide that the career path doesn't make sense for them, at least in the near term; and a third tell us they plan to work for a few years". This is an informal statement about one course, with no method given.
