The problem with thinking "students can learn on their own" is that there is an autodidact culture here at HN, so that view is skewed a bit. Most entrepreneurs have a different mindset from these people. They want to do something big like make a revolutionary product or impact the world somehow. Most of my peers don't want to learn on their own. They just want to get the piece of paper that says "Bachelors of _________", get a well-paying job (>60k), and live a life happily ever after. They don't care about making a company, because being employed by someone else has far less risk than making your own startup.
