Great story. Parents encourage son to beat head against the closed doors of corporate america instead of encouraging him to becoming an entrepreneur.
The author's conclusion:
"I'm not here offering a solution for the 45 year old guy with three kids. I am offering encouragement to a crop of college kids infantilized by terrible advice from parents and TV who have the freedom and opportunity to try something; while simultaneously describing the only long term solution to America's economic problems: more businesses. Jobs programs and stimulus packages are debatably good or bad, but assuredly temporary. Remember "the children are or future?" How about encouraging them a little? Maybe someday they'll pay for your social security."
- maukdaddy 16y agoum not quite so black & white. Scott isn't trying to become an entrepreneur right now...he's not doing shit. He either needs to get a job (40k whatever, it pays the bills) or start a damn company. edit: Or as one commenter said, get a corp job to save some $$$ while you work on something else on the side.
- lanaer 16y agoRight. The author is saying he should become an entrepreneur, and that his family should be advising him to do so.
