- ww520 16y agoThis is so true. Everytime I visited outside of U.S, it reminded me of what complete different worlds many people lived outside of U.S. Different food, different languages, different people, different values, different ambition. It's an amazing feeling.

- reneherse 16y agoIndeed, sad it is that the most up-voted comment is just begging the OP's question. Why not just answer the question, what's the substance behind the hype? I hardly think it's wrong to ask people to question their assumptions, especially when it's done in a thoughtful, non-confrontational way.
- efsavage 16y agoI thought I did, indirectly. My answer is that there is no prevailing "hype". This is a community of startup enthusiasts, so it should be fairly obvious that everything discussed here, and on the articles and blogs linked from here, will revolve around startups. If you want to learn about the values of working a jobby job, this is not a place where you're going to find a great conversation.
