Adam, great post. We are aiming to do that with www.collegejobconnect.com. Undergraduate recruiting needs more diversity and a better way for students to connect with a whole host of employers, not just those in consulting, finance, or the

I'd also add it is upsetting to see engineers and comp sci grads head off into finance to build credit default swaps and binary exotic options instead of, as you said, working on things that really matter. I'm guilty of it myself, but escap

Agree, I was working 60 hr weeks and earning a nice investment banking salary. I now work every waking hour and earn maybe 1/8th as much. We have to fight for every bit of progress that we make, but I love (almost) every second of it. All t

I was a math major for a while in school but moved over to economics (still math intensive, lot more job security). An EE major is really impressive, so if you can stick it out, I might just do it. It makes you very versatile and a very de

My hat is off to you and you make a good point that you can act autonomously and you didn't waste time searching for a co-founder. While going solo does have these benefits, I personally think that lasts only so long before you start to mis

With educational institutions, you might want to consider giving away your application for free to a few clients first. These sales cycle can be so bureaucratic it is often of more (unrealized) value to be able to say "we have 5 other very

Malatesta at 649 Washington St in W. Village (cash only) - incredible gnocchi. Tenzan on the Upper West Side, great sushi, not too expensive. Momofuku in the East Village is also a good spot.
