Entrepreneurship Certificate Good for Finance ?

Hello,

Senior studying economics & finance at a target very interested in startups. I'm wondering if doing a entrepreneurship program would signal that I am not a stable employee or likely to pursue other things ? I really would like to study Entrepreneurship since I have started a few ventures on my own but I would like to know what's the perception from employers of students studying Entrepreneurship ?

I'd be completely indifferent if I was picking resumes. If I was interviewing you, I'd probably try to sniff your real goals out of you. I'd want to hire someone actually willing to stay - banking isn't the same "fun" job that starting off on your own might be, and hard word aside, they are two different animals.
