I'm a recent college graduate trying to bring my internet passions to a sustainable level. As an entrepreneur, the day-in and day-out is very difficult and requires a great level of commitment. I could not be more happy--working on something you love is the greatest feeling in the world; albeit, at times I wish I had left it behind for some else to fall victim.

Although startups are gaining quite a bit of attention, especially by the younger crowd, there were not many students pursing them at my school--most were directed to premed, law...careers. Actually, I was premed as well throughout college... unfortunately, they worked you hard enough that you hardly had time for other passions.

Asked by Stonesy O. about 12 years ago

As a web entrepreneur you have to be perfectly comfortable, or wholly enjoy, instability. Although I am not sure of facebook's future directions, never before the existence of web based companies has the rise and fall been so quick. Is is a truly a rapid and ever changing industry that requires constant evolution.

Did your college career services department encourage entrepreneurship? Or were they more focused on getting students into more traditional jobs?
