In many small island developing nations like The Bahamas, the traditional '9 to 5' job opportunities that accompany ones' successful completion of high school or college are scarce or competitive at best. These small developing nations have experience population growths that have almost doubled in the past decade, and in most instances, the population growth has out pasted job creation. This atmosphere has created a surplus of semi-skilled and skilled workers who crowd labor bureaus in search of job opportunities or many who migrate to other more developed nations in pursuit of their economic goals. Alternatively, this phenomenon has also created an environment to improve economic prosperity through individual creativity and innovative activities. Individuals engaged in these creative and innovative activities are entrepreneurs.
