Abstract: This article analyzes some of the perceptions on the entrepreneurial career in Romania. With the help of an online survey answered by 230 respondents, the paper’s aim is to find out more about the expectations and needs for an entrepreneurial career for different categories of people. A special focus has been put on differentiating the answers according to the generation the respondents belong to and determine whether this aspect has a significant impact when choosing to become an entrepreneur. Some of the other particular issues the paper focused on were the matter of the formal education provided by schools and universities and how these institutions prepare the future generations of entrepreneurs. Last but not least, the paper wants to find out about what motivates people belonging to different generations to step in the entrepreneurial career and what prevents them from doing so.
