I agree with you. As long as you're passionate about a subject, you can start your own micro-school. I couldn't get a job as an organic chemistry professor even with an MIT pedigree and a long list of papers, including one in Science. So I said screw it, I'm doing this anyway, and I'll treat it like it's my own business. So I started a blog devoted to teaching undergraduate organic chemistry, and I make money from funneling a small portion of the people who read the site into online Skype tutoring. So much fun to be my own boss and not have to deal with academic bureaucracy. Good luck to you.
- MusicTrainer 16y agoGreat story. I agree passion is very important. I believe that is why a ton of companies fail after making a pivot point. I believe it can remove much of the original passion for the project. Good luck with your site and thanks for the kind words.
