How is it not representative when i directly suggest that one could become an entrepreneur instead of going to college. The benefits:
A) get a faster start
B) not burdened with debt
C) learn to communicate and sell
D) learn to develop ideas that (hopefully) will get accepted by the marketplace
E) learn to fail and bounce back from failure.
These are all qualities that could occur (which I mention in the articles and their comments) by making the choice to become an entrepreneur instead of going to college.
I appreciate your perspective but not sure why you are down on this topic.
- Mz 16y agoThe article doesn't say any of that. So the title is not representative of the actual content. I don't know how to say that any more clearly.
- jaltucher 16y agoHmmm, I believe the article says all of that. I'm afraid we're going to have to agree to disagree here. What I suggest is you check out the articles that go with it and the comments I've made in the article. I'm sorry you are not seeing it. i can't be more clear than I've been. In fact, much of the criticism I've received on these articles has to do directly with the fact that "not all kids are entrepreneurs" which i address clearly in these articles.
- achompas 16y agoNo, Mz is right: no mention of entrepreneurship. Only links to your 8 suggested alternatives. Flagged, stop hocking your book on HN please.
- jaltucher 16y agoHa, I have no book to hock. Any book I write will be out in years. I'm really not hocking anything. Why all the criticism instead of actually addressing whats in the article. And, if you look at the 8 suggested alternatives I specifically mention entrepreneurship and its repeatedly mentioned in the comments. Its the whole basis of the article. You guys are really funny.
