A two-model methodology along with a comparative analysis with Spain, a nation of Hispanic heritage with similar demographic patterns, is to be implemented in an attempt to answer this leading question. Ultimately, the hope of this study is to contribute to literature around the role of culture and geography in what people in America decide to pursue for a living, as well as call attention to the impact that entrepreneurship has on national economies.en-USPrinceton University Senior Theses
