摘要：The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship between the choice of entrepreneurship as a career and communication apprehension. This study poses a question: Will a graduate who could not become employed due to his/her lack of communication skills choose to become an entrepreneur? Researchers agree that one of the main skill to become an entrepreneur is communication skills. A survey is conducted among 2300 graduates from Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). The choice to become an entrepreneur refers to graduates who are self-employed. In addition to being self-employed (entrepreneur), there are other employment states such as unemployed, employed full-time and not full-time employed. In this context, the choice set could be expanded to more than two categories: self-employed (entrepreneur), unemployed, employed full-time, and not full-time employed. The findings will help to identify the existence in relationship between the choice of entrepreneurship as a career and communication apprehension.
