That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying I think it's unwise to do both at the same time.

I think you're right, but in my opinion they don't overlap very well either. A startup is very unlikely to succeed without complete devotion and it's very hard to take the most rigorous classes while working >20 hours a week.

This topic comes up on HN every few months and never fails to create a lively debate. As a (potential) future entrepreneur / freshman in college, I've gone back and forth a few times about whether I should continue my education. Here are

You should never ignore anyone, but not because you're trying to get something out of it...

Last summer, I had the privilege of attending a talk by Mark Pincus at Startup2Startup. One of the tips he gave that really resonated with me was to "gamify everything." For example, if users have to enter information to make your service

In my opinion, this is an excellent article because of the attention given to both Schmidt's remarks and the reporter's individual insights. Wired could have easily misquoted / twisted Schmidt's words, as seems to be the practice these day

I used Alice to start off a beginning programming class at the high school level. It worked great - they got really into it and loved to make things. I think it helped my students' programming intuition as well as retain some of the girls

I'm a high school senior right now and attribute my success in high school to a dual enrollment program I've been taking advantage of. Basically, I worked it out so that for the past three years my education is supplemented by college math
