you are absolutely right, but there is a factual counterpoint: availability of those intern/half-timers in the region.
we are located near SF, so far we had a hard time finding interns - cause the young kids are busy building start-ups themselves...
- patrickyeon 15y agoHow much are you offering to pay them? When you say 'availability', do you really mean 'availability for less than market rates'?
- randomdata 15y agoThis is actually a pretty good question. Everyone has to weigh the benefits of starting a startup over having a regular job. If all the kids are starting startups, that indicates that the benefits of having a job are so low that it is always worth the risk of startupdom. Money may not be the only consideration, but I'm sure it is a big one. Would these kids be all starting startups if the programming jobs paid, for instance, $500K per year?
