May I ask what you are studying over there at Cornell?
I read your paper and the conclusion that you arrived at is reminiscent of an observation on young entrepreneurship in this essay: http://www.paulgraham.com/mit.html. Starting a startup while you're still in school means that there is still an escape hatch. Just as you realized in your paper, if you fail, you are still a student, or "no worse off than before."
While I agree about the disjointedness of the paper, I think a rational-decision making model is absolutely applicable in an entrepreneurial sense if approached correctly.
- Alex3917 20y agoGood point. I don't really have a major, I'm just whatever random classes I find interesting or useful. I'm taking classes in business, education, English, comp sci, etc. I've taken enough classes to get an Applied Economics & Management degree if I want it, but I'm pretty ambivalent between doing that and just leaving it as interdisciplinary studies on my diploma. Also, you're right about the PG essay. I've obviously learned a lot since that experience and will not be making the same mistakes next time.
