Opinions expressed by BIZ Experiences contributors are their own.

Unlike previous generations, for many millennials climbing the corporate ladders isn't a goal they are striving to attain. Indeed, 60 percent are turning their backs on the traditional career path and instead, consider themselves BIZ Experiencess, with ideas, capital and plans for startup endeavors, according to for-profit Rasmussen College.

Of those still at a "regular" job, 71 percent are pining to quit and work for themselves and 60 percent stated they will leave within the next two years.

While the motivations for branching out into the world of BIZ Experiencesship run the gamut, the No. 1 reason is freedom, followed by ability to choose projects and unlimited income potential.
