I have been interacting with a lot of students and professors lately. One sentiment that is becoming resoundingly clear is that the current economic condition makes job search very, very difficult. As you know, I started my first company as a graduate student at MIT in 1994. I believe that early on in your career, when you have little to lose, and not many responsibilities – family, children, aging parents – is a good time to experiment with entrepreneurship.
On May 20, I will host a career roundtable focused on this topic, to give students, recent grads, and young professionals an opportunity to interact around the topic of entrepreneurship as a career. You can register here.
