Forget Zoom college: it’s time for America’s youth to embrace entrepreneurship
In the fall, thousands of college campuses across the country could be set to move online. Students will find themselves paying amounts in excess of $40,000 a year for glorified Zoom sessions. Even more young professionals will be considering grad school as a way to ride out the biggest recession we’ve seen in a generation. It will be grad school with all the cost and hardly any of the networking benefits. But there’s another option: we can build. We can use the crisis and the move online as a reason to take risks, risks that once seemed crazy or impractical are suddenly worthwhile. Whether it’s making leaps in genetic engineering or learning how to practically homestead, building is acceptable again.
