Who ya gonna call?! That's a good question...where should someone start if they want to go into business for themselves? This course is a fun approach to reviewing what it takes to successfully plan, start, market, and run your own business, using "Ghostbusters" as a model. This is by no means comprehensive, but a primer for students that think they may want to develop specific skills that can be used to start their own business--it is also a shameless love letter to a great film. We will look at what Dr. Venkman, Stantz, and Spengler did initially to get the business up and running, and any of the pitfalls associated with keeping it going. I hope you join in on the fun!

*NOTE* This is not meant to be a truly comprehensive course on actually starting a business, but rather a fun observation and analysis of what we can learn from the Ghostbusters in terms of what one should consider when attempting to do so. Many of the steps are not dissimilar to what I do as a tutor and contract teacher—marketing to maintain interest, following certain regulations, paperwork, start up money, etc.
My Master's Degree is in Education; I have taught high school English and various electives, including AP English: Language & Composition and The Structure & Analysis of Film since 2008. Additionally I have worked on committees to ensure curriculum is up-to-date and meaningful, have mentored students during high school & as they prepare for college and/or the workforce, and have offered a variety of online classes since 2021.
