Now 20, third - year Cambridge University student, Jack Starker is a manager of a company with a £ 30, 000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than £ 15, 000 by next summer. Last year he set up Ja ck Starker Company to bring out a new, color term - planner that now students all over the UK are using. “ I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative, ” he says, “ I believe that I could do a better job and decided to have _ a _ go . ” Starker says that he is putting far more efforts into business than his computer studies course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by phone. Before he set up the company, he spent one holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money. “ Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get a job to support themselves, ” he say s, “ I worked at my company, because that is what will support me next year, after I leave college. ” Friends believe that Starker will make £ 1 million within 5 years.
