I think you're right, but in my opinion they don't overlap very well either. A startup is very unlikely to succeed without complete devotion and it's very hard to take the most rigorous classes while working >20 hours a week.
- stingraycharles 16y agoWho says you can't start a startup after completing college?

- telemachos 16y agoOr, pick another college. I attended a school in the City University of New York system. When I started it cost around $700 a year (yes, you read correctly). By the end, even with a massive increase in tuition (by percentage), it cost around $1400. I worked part-time all the way through, lived at home and went off to graduate school debt free. I also got an excellent education. State by state and city by city, I'm sure the quality of public colleges varies, but many local systems are quite good.
- speek 16y agoThis semester I was in school full-time and working on my startup part-time with co-founders. That was a huge mistake. As much as it was fun, the only time where I got major progress done was during vacations, when I should've been focusing on the assignments thrust upon me by my studies. Since I was focusing more on my startup, rather than my classes, my grades ended up not being as good as they could have been. Luckily, for the next 8 months I get to focus 100% on my startup; I won't have to choose between a mediocre grade and a mediocre product. I'll have the energy and resources to create a great product.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoRats! I stupidly finished college many years ago. Now I can never start a company!
- dfield 16y agoThat's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying I think it's unwise to do both at the same time.
