For graduates who take jobs, the usual first roles on early-stage startup teams and in business development research and sales support have already begun shrinking because of AI. Founders and business owners aren't hired, and face-to-face negotiation remains.

Entrepreneurship: how AI affects graduate hiring
Most entrepreneurship graduates who take a job start in business development or sales support at someone else's company, since no one hires a founder off a résumé. YOU'RE NEXT dates pressure on that entry-level BD work to around 2029.
What entrepreneurship-track jobs has AI already begun to shrink?
The market research, cold outreach, and deal-support work that fills a first business-development or sales-support job are tasks AI already drafts a usable version of directly. That is the part of this major's job market AI reaches first, since founding or owning a business isn't something a company hires a graduate into.
Why do founders and business owners sit outside this pressure entirely?
Business-development-staff and online-seller jobs, the usual first paycheck for this major's graduates, are judged to feel pressure earliest, since both lean on research and listings work AI already handles well. Startup-founder and small-business-owner paths are judged to only be assisted by AI, because no one is hired into founding a company — you start it yourself.
How should an entrepreneurship student prepare differently than other majors?
If you're aiming to found or run your own venture, build a real project now as your portfolio, since that experience matters more than a job title ever will. If you're taking a job first, practice the face-to-face negotiation and relationship-building that AI-drafted outreach still can't do on its own.
