This article examines how individual characteristics influence the likelihood of choosing entrepreneurship over other employment options and provides insight into the diversity of entrepreneurs. Four occupational categories are considered: employers, subordinates and salaried workers, unpaid workers and the self-employed. The methodology used is multiple choice, allowing us to study individual decisions between alternatives. The study shows that higher education is associated with more salaried workers, while people with basic education tend to be more entrepreneurial at older ages. Gender differences in the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur are also identified. The concept of an entrepreneurial threshold is proposed as a turning point in occupational choice.
