I'm doing that right now. I'm in 5 year engineering program where we don't get summers off. So, I took last fall off to work on a startup - LOVED IT. But I realized if I continued doing that, I would probably drop out of school. Not wanting

Your job descrp. sounds like its in the corporate world. That culture demands professionalism at the forefront. I wouldn't put this in my resume but mention in the interview I think that'll help them relate to me.

Props to you for this, very commendable. I wish my biz dev people showed this kind of initiative I think its doable. Because of the accelerated rate, you'll obviously miss some crucial pieces but those will fall into place if you, as you sh
