Asking All Young Entrepreneurs: Are You Absolutely Sick of College Yet? (mindpetals.com)
8 points by Elfan on March 1, 2007 | hide | past | favorite | 6 comments


I am finishing up my last semester of Business School and I just sit in class reading Popurls.com while teachers ramble on and on. I have learned so much more about entrepreneurship, history, news, world status, and everything else than my classes could possibly teach me. I am just glad all this training to be a sheep will be over soon.


one of my favorite pg quotes from "The Power of the Marginal"...

"You often hear people say that you shouldn’t major in business in college, but this is actually an instance of a more general rule: don’t learn things from teachers who are bad at them."


"This article was written to make young entrepreneurs hate college or want to stop doing their school work to focus more on their business"

typo?


From the tone of the article it seems like more of a Freudian slip than an outright typo.



I actually wrote about something similar last fall, so I just uploaded it to my homepage. It was actually an assignment for a business class, and the professor's comments are pretty funny:
