The article is devoted to the study of the gap between the content of academic disciplines and the content of life in the aspect of entrepreneurial culture and the position of an active citizen of older adolescents. It was hypothesized that older adolescents with high academic performance in the study of disciplines such as chemistry, mathematics and others, in comparison with adolescents with low academic performance, will differ in the content of answers according to criteria such as elaboration, belonging of subject knowledge to universal or special in the aspect of entrepreneurial activity. It was found that knowledge in chemistry as a special one in combination with an open cognitive position is one of the prerequisites for a modern entrepreneur. Research prospects lie in the design of a developing, enriched educational environment aimed at developing the chemical orientation of the mind and chemical thinking of older adolescents.
