  <info>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Any company that conducts business over the Internet can be referred to as an E-Business, or electronic business.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;With so many traditional companies making the move to the Internet, this is a field with lots of growth potential. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Career opportunities that are available for an E-Business are virtually endless.  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;  What exactly is an E-Business?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt; An E-business is also known as an electronic business. Any company that conducts business of any kind over the Internet can be referred to as an E-Business. Whether the company sells products online or simply advertises its products online, the company may be considered an E-Business.  Everyday, more people are looking into owning their own E-Business and  many companies that started as traditional businesses are expanding their business to the Internet.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;b&gt; What career opportunities are available in E-Business?&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt; Career opportunities that are available for an E-Business are virtually endless. You can have an E-Business selling almost anything of which you could possibly dream. From cakes to cookies; from heavy machinery to miniature hammers, the possibilities never end. There is a market for any and everything you want to sell in your E-Business.  Starting a E-business is not an easy task, however, with an E-Business, you can set your own hours, work when you want, and your product can still be sold all over the Internet.  If owning your own business does not sound like something you would want to attempt, there are also a number of support positions within this field working for E-business owners.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;What kind of education and experience will help to start a career in E-Business? &lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt; Any education you may have in business will certainly help in setting up your new E-Business. Deciding what type of education you need to run your E-Business is entirely up to you, but a business background would help.  It is possible for someone with only a high school education can run an E-Business, but someone with a business degree may know more about how to run it properly, at least the business end of the E-Business.  Also, management experience is a plus, since you may end up managing support employees in your E-business.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;What are the advantages and disadvantages of running an E-Business? &lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt; One of the biggest disadvantages in running your own E-Business is that all of the problems fall onto your shoulders when you are the boss. When your web site goes down, your money is being lost every second it is offline. Time is money, and this might be something that could affect your wallet deeply. Another disadvantage in running your own E-Business are the long hours you may have to put in. It is your business after all and it may require time to keep it up and running. You will need to be sure that it is run properly, that all of the customers are satisfied, and that you are making a profit.
Let us now look at some advantages of running an E-Business. A huge advantage is you are working for yourself. There is working for someone else with him or her earning most of the money. Now your work is reflecting in your checkbook, not someone else's. Another advantage is that you can work from home. This may be why you are looking into an E-Business in the first place. Setting your own hours is a big advantage to many people. You may not be a 9 to 5 type of person. Maybe you are a night owl and like to work while everyone is sleeping. These are all huge advantages to consider when looking into running an E-Business.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Are there online programs available to help prepare someone for an E-business? &lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Online programs that are available to you for an E-Business can range from education to coaching.  Online programs for careers can help students get just the education needed in order to run your E-Business properly.  For specific program offerings, it is best to check with individual schools. &lt;/p&gt;</info>
