One problem with college is that you start to develop interests that are completely out of touch with what users want.
The more educated you are, the less practical your startup ideas.
- ryanhuff 16y agoI would agree if your users are not college educated. Otherwise, I don't see it. Anyhow, life is more than just catering to user "wants". Yes, college is mostly seen as a gateway to a profession, but you can get much more than job skills out of the experience.
- piguy314 16y agoDepends on market segment. If you are trying to create a product for people in "fly-over country" then sure being more educated may prevent you from seeing things from their point of view, Walmart came from Arkansans after all... But most of the target audience for tech startups is in the first third of technology adoption curve which is dominated by educated and/or affluent and/or intelligent people.
