Thank you so much for this post Michael! I found this post really insightful not only in the sense that it gives confidence to us who prefer to build stuff to solve real world inefficiencies vs getting perfect grades (but at the same time value the human infrastructure that universities have), but in the sense that you are giving really good criteria to value other "studentpreneurs" as co-founders of something a little bit more serious than a side-project. I would like to ask you: Some of us have parents that are pretty liberal and open to these alternative career paths; but there are extremely talented people (genius coders, who are entrepreneurial enough to work on their side projects, who have a low burn rate and no student debt, etc.) who have parents that are really conservative and want to define a career path for them. As a co-founder and close friend of such kind of people, how should one deal with such situation?
