As a nation paralyzed with horror watched the destruction of New York's World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon September 11, people throughout the meeting industry united almost instantly to help colleagues in need. One vital source of information was the Meeting Industry Mall listserv (www.mim.com), where participants traded news on people's whereabouts, offered to contact others' loved ones when phone lines became jammed, and opened their homes to those stranded by the shutdown of U.S. airspace. Listserv members also started a volunteer shuttle relay service, with members offering to drive stranded colleagues a few hours, who then would be picked up by other members, and so on, to bring them home step by step.
"The outpouring of good will from the list was one of the most amazing displays of giving I have ever witnessed, or probably will ever witness," said Joan Eisenstodt, the list's facilitator.
Those attending meetings outside the country were not as fortunate; some were stranded for days. Bob Pelletier, manager of the U.S. subsidiary of CMA Microdialysis, was at a teambuilding and strategic goal-setting meeting at the company's headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, when the United States was attacked. Although he was the sole U.S. citizen at the meeting, his Swedish colleagues shared his shock and horror, and rallied around him with words of support. They decided to continue the meeting, but cancelled the elaborate closing celebration out of respect.
"Being away from my family and my country right now is torture," he said from his hotel room in London, which was as far as he had gotten by press time. "But the people here have been incredible."
The hospitality industry rallied with a show of support, both from hotels near the tragedies and those thousands of miles away. The Sheraton Suites Alexandria, just across the town line from the Arlington, Va., Pentagon, provided rooms at no cost to SWAT teams working around the clock at the Pentagon, reported general manager John Varghese. They also offered free rooms to Salvation Army workers. When the hotel asked for volunteers to provide 200 sandwiches for the Salvation Army, more than 75 employees stepped forward, providing enough food for 1,000 people. In Denver, Colo., the Convention and Visitors Bureau set up its housing department to be a clearinghouse for people who were stranded by the shutdown of Denver International Airport, reported spokeswoman Jill Strunk. Staff gathered information on available rooms at all metro and surrounding area hotels, and on local citizens who were willing to open their homes to travelers who couldn't afford to stay in a hotel.
Immediately after the attacks, Meeting Professionals International mobilized its 48 U.S. — based chapters to assist local American Red Cross chapters. The organization set up a "crisis care and support" section for its members at its Web site, www.mpiweb.org.
Many Meetings Cancel
News of thousands of meeting cancellations spread quickly following the tragedy. Chuck Lane, assistant vice president of public relations and meeting services for Humana Inc., Louisville, Ky., said his firm canceled a business program in Green Bay, Wis., for 138 national sales managers that was scheduled for September 13 and 14. Since people were coming in from across the country, Lane said, his firm was concerned attendees would not be able to get flights into Green Bay, a small air-service market.
"In boardrooms nationwide, executives are doing a lot of soul-searching with respect to corporate travel," Charlie LeBlanc, managing director of Air Security International, Houston, which advises Fortune 500 companies on domestic and international travel safety, told the Baltimore Sun. "Many of our company's clients are putting off travel indefinitely," he explained.
Others refuse to. "I'm not cancelling the meeting I have tonight, nor the convention I leave for tomorrow," reported Ciritta B. Park, CAE, vice president, Able Management Solutions Inc., Columbus, Ohio. "If we let terrorists stop us in our living, they have won."
Beth A. Cooper-Zobott, director, conference services, for Chicago-based Equity Residential Properties, shared some basic airport security tips for business travelers in light of the terrorist attacks:
Get through the unsecured portions of the airport (airline counter areas, parking lots, and so forth) as quickly as possible.
Move through security efficiently by having your ticket and driver's license or ID in your hand, with all items ready to hand to security (such as jewelry, and so forth) so you don't cause a bottleneck of people that would be tempting to "hit."
Join an airline club so that you're in common areas of the airport as little as possible.
In the airport gate area, sit away from windows and glass, with your back up against a wall and no one behind you.
Dress inconspicuously so that you don't draw attention to yourself, your wealth, or your nationality.
Never use your business card as your luggage tag. That advertises that you are an executive working for a major U.S. company (thus a possible kidnapping target).
"Unfortunately, what has become a way of life for many around the world will have to be quickly learned by those of us for whom airline travel is the norm rather than the unusual." Cooper-Zobott said.

Alexandra M. -- 10/29/2012
It took a few weeks for the deal to actually open, but when it did, everything went pretty smoothly. I got my cashback within 24 hours of signing up, and Netflix itself is pretty neat. If I had the money I might think about actually subscribing to it.
[sr] Admin s. -- 10/10/2012
that is really weird. please let me know where i can reach you via email and i will call to see whther i can help.
Alexandra M. -- 10/10/2012
I still can't even get the deal to open. No matter which link I click on it says it can't display the page. Different browsers, different computers, it just won't even open.
[SR] Admin .. -- 10/07/2012
wonun, the cancellation of the trial before the trial period needs to be done on the netflix side. if you have not received your cash back please send us an email and we will look into it.
Wonjun C. -- 10/06/2012
I signed up with studentrate.com but I was charged for the first month, $7.99 plus I never received the cashback and it has already been a month. What's going on here?

Alexandra M. -- 09/30/2012
I've been trying for a week to get this deal, but every time I click on "Go to Deal" it says it can't load the page. The other deals worked find, it's just this one that won't load.
Rebekah E. -- 09/29/2012
I still have not received my cash back. Who can I contact about this?
[sr] Admin s. -- 08/30/2012
Look at it this way it is free money for just trying a great service. If you dont like it just cancel it within 30 days and the money ($10.00 Cash Back is yours).
StudentRate M. -- 07/31/2012
it will become available after 60 days of your purchase date.
Senthilkumar K. -- 07/31/2012

[sr] Admin s. -- 07/30/2012
there is not a period of time. you have to start the trial and if you keep it that is great if not that is also fine. we will give you the $10.00 just for trying the service
Chelsea S. -- 07/30/2012
How long to we have to keep the free trial to get the $10?
[SR] Admin .. -- 07/30/2012

Daniel P. -- 03/11/2012
Oh, it may have been because I was logged in with an old netflix account. Sorry!
Now it says that the page isn't found. Deal over? I'm sad!
Kellie G. -- 03/02/2012
Signed up for the free trial on Wednesday and got my Cash Back yesterday (Thursday)!
[SR] Admin .. -- 03/02/2012
i dont think they changed the pricing recently -- if you are referring to what they did during the summer i agree with you.
Dennis L. -- 03/02/2012
They Changed the Deal :( Not worth it any more x_x now its $15.98 a month :( Total Ripoff Now!!
elaine L. -- 03/01/2012
you will see it in your studentrate cash back account within 24-48 hours.
Siddharth B. -- 02/29/2012
How long does it take to get the $10?
elaine L. -- 02/16/2012
no you can not -- the cash back only works when you use the links on the site.
kim s. -- 02/16/2012
What if you have recently signed up for netflix and is just now seeing this deal? any way to still get cash back?
elaine L. -- 02/14/2012
I think it shows up when you watch your first move or your account is considered active by netflix.
jessy S. -- 02/09/2012
Awesome! I signed up for free trial on Tuesday and the $10 showed up in my account today
elaine L. -- 02/06/2012
It is being promoted again now. I think the trial period gives you $10.00 or is the $10.00 after the trial period when you convert to being a paid member.
Michele B. -- 01/26/2012
This does work. Only thing is I thought that it was a continuous thing every month...Turns out that it is a one time deal. I bought the dvd plan right from the start.
Steph B. -- 01/25/2012
If you only get streaming subscription I think it s $7.99 but with the mailing DVDs it s more
Devin H. -- 01/25/2012
How come when I'm making the selection on what type of membership (instant view and/or DVDs) it still says that I have to pay $16 a month? Isn't the deal supposed to be only $8 a month?
Steph B. -- 12/28/2011
It doesn't matter if you have already completed the free trial, just use the link in this deal to get the paid subscription and you will receive cash back
Kate S. -- 12/27/2011
I already completed the free trial (but I didn't use the link in this deal when i originally signed up). Will I get the cash back if I sign up with this deal for the paid sub?
Michele B. -- 11/08/2011
Yes, this really does work! I selected the package with one DVD out at a time. It will not work with the free trial. After that free month of service you get the $10 in your account HERE. Not a bad program for us students if you ask me!
[SR] Admin .. -- 06/02/2011
Mine showed up after the trial period when i signed up for the new netflix account. no code to enter just signup for the trial and the cash shows up after you become a paying netflix customer.
Virginia B. -- 06/02/2011
Takes me to website without any sign of the code working. I checked billing in under my account info to see if the credit was listed, but nada.
John L. -- 06/01/2011
It also just took me to the website. I didn't want to give it an F on the chance that this happened only because I already have netflix. It might be good to know if this is an offer applicable to current subscribers. Thanks!
Amanda H. -- 05/26/2011
i got my cash back :)
Christy J. -- 05/24/2011
It would not allow me to use this deal and when you follow the website, it just takes you to the Netflix website.

Holiday Crafts
I like Google BUT,
When I opened my Google page this morning, I expected to see the header to celebrate Easter -- but NO. They have a picture of Cesar Chavez , celebrating his birthday WHAT !!!
I have noticed this before where religious holidays or patriotic holidays are bypassed. No place to email them that I can find. Guess I should change my search engine but I'm not very good at changing things and I do like the format they have so guess I should SHUT UP Well, sorry to vent this morning and I do hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and enjoys this special day.
You know what...you took the words right out of my mouth. That was the first thing I saw too!!! I said (to myself) what the heck is this doing on here.!!!!! They could have just put bunnies and chicks on the page.
HAPPY EASTER to you too.
Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, but you always know they're there.
The Canadian Google is just the reg. page. My thought is there are different religions out there and they don't wont to offend. Have a grand Day!! Liz
I find that Bing has better and more search results. Usually Google just gives you one page of decent results. I agree, what could possibly offend anyone with chicks and bunnys?!!
I too noticed that today as well. Bunnies would have been cute or even a bunch of fancy lady bonnets. For my birthday this week, when I logged on to google, I had a lot of birthday cakes, cupcakes, sparklers,etc. But I don't know how they knew it was my birthday.

Hope everyone had a nice day.
Bing is beautiful with a full page of painted eggs!
I see that this topic is on the news today ( Monday ) and apparently many people felt the same way that I did. They said many people were switching to Bing because of this slight . So, guess I was not the only one.
One of the news guys said he didn't think Goggle did it on purpose ????
Anyway, just some thoughts.
They were talking about it on Huffington Post yesterday. I also hate how now on google when you click on something you get this big grey square asking where you want to go, I rather just go to the site page instead of this extra step. I'm not a big fan of Bing, maybe I haven't been on it long enough.
I've never liked Google and don't like Bing.

Google knows a lot....it has always been known as one of the largest collectors of personal info when you're searching the web, no thanks.This message has been edited. Last edited by: rainee,

I've stuck with Yahoo all these years. Sometimes when doing an update on something a pop-up will ask if I want to install Google or Google Chrome. I always click it off.
Unfortunately, it has become politically correct to not offend anyone except Chris-tians.

I receive about 4 different provider's books. I don't know where they come from, or why I get them - it's now a running joke with my husband - "Thank GOD the new books are here. I was worried." Once I actually bring them inside (which may take a week or two), I chuck them in recycle. I do save one of the yellow pages and throw it in my car, thinking someday I may need it. I never have yet, but you never know - I might someday.

Unless Carlos Marmol gets involved, the Cubs still hope to close a deal with the city to renovate Wrigley Field by Monday's home opener.
Assuming the agreement can overcome a late-inning scare, planned improvements at the venerable 99-year-old ballpark include a large video scoreboard in left field, a hotel and office building across the street and a parking garage at Clark and Grace. That also represents a good spot for a sign befitting the $500 million investment in the neighborhood, one that says: Welcome to Rickettsville.
Long after Mayor Rahm Emanuel returns to crises more likely to define his tenure and Ald. Tom Tunney, 44th, backpedals his way back to angry rooftop owners, Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts could emerge as the one who put progress ahead of profit in the best interests of Chicago. If Tunney had taken that same civic-minded spirit into the final phase of negotiations like a leader representing the many instead of the few, everybody would be shaking hands.

Billy Williams Statue, West Addison Street, Chicago, IL 60613, USA
If they eventually do, one day history will smile on the baseball executive who prides himself on being a man of the people taking the people's needs as seriously as his own. Estimates say the project will create 2,000 jobs and generate $19 million in tax revenue alone, not to mention how new revenue streams and increased night games should improve the product on the field — which benefits everybody.
Obviously, winning a World Series would create the legacy Ricketts cares about most. But being known as the guy who saved Wrigleyville from itself can only enhance his reputation.
Consider that Ricketts easily could have responded to the constant special-interest meddling by returning the flirtation of Rosemont Mayor Brad Stephens. Even before that realistic option surfaced, Ricketts secretly could have lined up suitors from DuPage County or Arlington Heights or any other municipality that would have loved to entice the Cubs into suburbia with tax breaks and free land. Even at this late stage, as 16 rooftop owners dangerously threaten completion of a deal that would benefit millions of Chicagoans, Ricketts has avoided self-serving stunts that often mar negotiations.
Over two years, Ricketts essentially has stepped up to the plate with a whiffle-ball bat. He chose to negotiate without ever trying to gain leverage by threatening to leave Chicago's North Side even if studies showed the Cubs stood to make even more money away from Wrigley and the grip of local government. Those studies still make relocating a legitimate option for Ricketts until the ink is dry, by the way.
Emanuel or predecessor Richard M. Daley might have laughed at such threats and called Ricketts' bluff. We never will know because Ricketts chose not to engage in discussions to move his team the way the McCaskeys and the Bears did or White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf before them. From a business perspective, there was something naive about Ricketts' approach. From a personal standpoint, there is something admirable. He refused to put a price on abandoning Wrigley Field.
For better or worse, that allegiance put Ricketts at a negotiating disadvantage. So why did a successful, trained businessman make that choice? Overly romantic or not, Ricketts still feels strongly about his role as a steward of Wrigley Field. He met his wife, Cecilia, in the bleachers. He knows ushers by name and that Eamus Catuli is a slogan, not a menu item. He simply remains an unabashed, true-blue Cubs fan, and fans let their hearts lead their heads, which is what Ricketts did throughout a process he made longer than necessary. At times Ricketts made decisions like Tom from Wilmette instead of the chairman of an $845 million corporation.
Not surprisingly, Ricketts' initial clumsiness prolonged negotiations. In December 2010, Ricketts whiffed worse than Dave Kingman on a high fastball when, in the midst of a bad economy, his first proposal asked for $200 million in public funding from the Illinois Sports Facility Authority that helps every other team in town. Gov. Pat Quinn and Daley, whose support Ricketts needed, scoffed at the political newbie.
Just when Ricketts had regained some momentum toward a reconfigured deal that was close last May, his father, Joe, alienated Emanuel when reports linked the elder Ricketts to a proposed $10 million smear campaign of President Barack Obama. It didn't matter if it was unfair to hold a son responsible for the alleged actions of his father. Emanuel did, and this clearly was his show.
Those were among the lessons in the school of hard knocks Ricketts referred to at an event last week in Florida when he addressed what surprised him taking over the Cubs.
"There are lots of little learning curves,'' Ricketts said. "Chicago politics is one.''
The price of his education cost Ricketts more than he expected but clearly staying would make it worthwhile to him. Litigious rooftop owners who disagree will make Ricketts feel like the worst guy who ever invested a half-billion dollars of his family's money in their neighborhood. Eventually, their views might change, figuratively and literally, once they see designs and remember how many fans go to rooftops for the party more than the baseball.
Indeed, this saga is all about perspective. From where I sit, rooftop owners and all Cubs fans should be thanking Ricketts today instead of planning to sue him.

TELLURIDE – Young soccer players recently received a hearty dose of soccer instruction from a true soccer authority, when professional soccer goalie for the Real Colorado Foxes Roberto Perez took a quick break from the Premier Development League semi-pro soccer playoffs to share some insider tips and tricks with local soccer buffs.
Perez was in Telluride as a guest coach for the Telluride Academy's Mountain Soccer program, and also spent one-on-one time training with two of Telluride's up-and-coming young goalies, Telluride High School and Men's U18 Club goalie Brendan Kelley and U14 Men's Club and Telluride Middle School goalie Connor Overly.
Perez, a goalie for the United Soccer League's Real Colorado Foxes, has played as the reserve goalie for the Major League Soccer professional team and MLS national champion Colorado Rapids. Perez also played professionally in Mexico.
After defeating the Kansas City Wizards 3-0 last weekend, Perez' team earned a berth into the US Semi Pro playoffs, which begins this weekend.
But the big games ahead didn't stop Perez from spending some quality time with local soccer players, says Justin Chandler, director of coaching at Telluride's Youth Soccer Club.
"The workouts are very intense and extremely difficult, but the boys love it and Roberto is staying sharp, training with the boys, and says the boys are really doing great," he says.
For THS's Kelley, the instruction has provided an invaluable learning experience as he prepares for the coming high school soccer season.
"To be able to have this experience is a really great opportunity – getting to train with a professional and getting my skills back before the high school season starts," Kelley said this week.
THS boys' soccer ended its last soccer season with a 10-4-2 overall record, and made it to the first round of the 2011 State Soccer Tournament. Telluride High School's boy's fall soccer season ramps up in just a few weeks, with practices beginning on August 13.
Other training opportunities are available with Perez, his Colorado Foxes and Colorado Rapids teammates, and other professional, collegiate and international players and coaches; for more information, contact Justin Chandler at 970 729 1492 or email@example.com.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Ver. That's right, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Ver. Not JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Version or the much more concise JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD. Instead Capcom had to go the extra step and add "Ver." for no reason. As it turns out, trying to make sense of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is like training your cat to write the great American novel. It's never going to happen.
When originally released on the PlayStation and Dreamcast, JoJo was met with yawns in America. It had a lot working against it, starting with a weird art style and an off-putting sense of humor. The fact that it was based on an obscure Japanese Manga series didn't help its chances in the English speaking parts of the world. To make matters worse, this 2D throwback was released at a time when everybody was preoccupied with 3D fighting games. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure was doomed from the start.
After more than a dozen years of waiting, fans of rare Capcom games finally have something to get excited about. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Ver. is a collection of both arcade games, giving players the most comprehensive JoJo game ever released on a home console. This package comes with all 22 unique characters, an impressive list of backgrounds, bizarre cinemas and an adequate online multiplayer mode. But as nice as it is to see an old friend, this overpriced compilation isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Imagine a fighting game with nothing but novelty characters. Usually you only get one or two interesting fighters, like Street Fighter's Dhalsim or Yoshimitsu in Tekken. But that's not the case in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, because every single character has something strange going on. Here you'll find seemingly normal looking fighters with dark secrets. You'll find a cowboy with a laser gun. There's a dog named Iggy and a bird known as Petshop. There is a shadow fighter, who floats along the floor attacking from below. And just this is just scratching the tip of how weird the game is.
Many of the combatants are able to summon mysterious Stand characters to fight on their behalf. Here Capcom toys with some tag team techniques, but JoJo never quite veers into Marvel vs. Capcom territory. Sometimes a Stand will be added to the play field, while other times you'll simply turn into a different character. In the case of Iggy the dog, a larger animal towers over him for protection. Some characters only bring out these summoned characters during special moves, others are always on screen and there are a few fighters with none at all. There's a lot to keep straight while playing JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Perhaps all this makes more sense if you're a fan of the source material, but I found this list of fighters to be incomprehensible. It's definitely intriguing, but still incomprehensible. It's never clear why some characters turn into aliens, while others are able to summon mythological bird creatures. Sure every fighter is given a story, but that only makes things more confusing. If you're willing to invest the time to get to know this cast of characters, you'll be rewarded with ideas and moves never before seen in a Capcom fighting game.
The gameplay has been simplified from Street Fighter's six-button set-up. For the most part, you only use three buttons to attack -- light, medium and heavy hits. There's also a Stand button, which brings your summoned character (or alter ego, etc.) out for a brief time. Outside of that, the usual Capcom-style special moves are in full effect, with a power gauge that, when fully maxed out, will cause a full-screen assault unlike anything you've seen before. The core gameplay isn't bad, but feels simplistic next to Street Fighter, Darkstalkers and other Capcom fighters.
Outside of the wacky collection of pugilists, the real star is the Manga-influenced art style. Each of the 22 characters looks like they're hand-drawn, often with the distinct lines you only get in a comic book. The effect resembles A-Ha's Take Me On music video, creating a unique look that benefits the game. By using the same hardware that powered Street Fighter III, Capcom was able to make JoJo's Bizarre Adventure one of the most visually arresting 2D fighting games of all time.
Unfortunately, great visuals can only get you so far. While I couldn't get enough of the outrageous special moves and cool Stand abilities, I quickly tired of the simplistic gameplay. Many of the characters are strange to the point of being off-putting. This is made worse when you discover that there are very few "normal" characters. That's not to say I want a cast of Ryu and Ken wannabes, but it's difficult to get your bearing straight when everybody is so radically different from what you're used to.
Equally frustrating is the price tag, which is substantially higher than what Capcom normally charges. For twenty dollars you get a mostly barebones package; a game designed exclusively for the three or four people who remember this franchise. You don't get the single-player goals or the exciting dream matches that made Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition so memorable. Instead you get a challenge mode, which can easily be finished in only a few minutes.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Ver. also features an online mode, though it too is as basic as it comes. I was generally pleased with the performance, and for the first time I didn't feel grossly overpowered by players who know the mechanics inside and out. But even with a dozen wins, I quickly grew bored with the core gameplay. It's fun to look at, but too many rounds end up playing out the same way.
I like the idea of Capcom mining some of their lesser known games for Xbox Live Arcade and PSN releases. Sadly, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure hasn't aged well. The characters are interesting to look at and the action will draw your attention, but the core fundamentals are too simple to keep you playing for long. It's also grossly overpriced, especially considering what is in the package. It's great to see JoJo again, but not at the price Capcom is asking.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Ver.

Above Average
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure isn't a bad fighting game, but it may be too weird for its own good. The 22 characters are hard to relate to and the action is often chaotic for no reason. Worse yet, the game is too expensive for the amount of content. If you can get over some of the imperfections you'll find a good looking fighting game with a lot of memorable characters!

Yesterday, the Thiel Foundation, created by legendary investor Peter Thiel, announced its first class of "Twenty under Twenty" Thiel Fellows. These $100,000 fellowships have been awarded to elite High School and College students who will use the fellowships to either forego college or "stop out" of college to pursue entrepreneurial projects in science and technology.
In the current climate of rapidly escalating tuition costs and high levels of unemployment among recent college graduates, the announcement of these fellowships has re-ignited a broader debate about the value of a college education. However, as I discuss below, these Thiel Fellowships do nothing to address the problems in our higher education system. They also send a dangerous message to the vast majority of students for whom a solid University education is still extremely good value.
The Thiel Fellowship is solving the wrong problem
The recently announced inaugural class of Thiel Fellows is a group of highly talented, motivated and accomplished students. They represent the elite-of-the-elite in terms of ability and achievement. I have no doubt that each of these individuals will be successful in their careers and contribute to societal progress and economic development. If these students feel that spending four years at University learning the fundamentals of their fields of pursuit is not the best use of the next four years of their lives, I'm sure they are well qualified to make that decision.
For the record, I strongly disagree with this decision. I spent six years studying for a BA and Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Cambridge. I attribute the success I have had in my career to the fundamental knowledge and skill sets I learned at Cambridge. A University education provides a grounding in the fundamentals, but it also provides so much more. I value equally highly the interactions and debates I had with my fellow students and Professors, the academic rigor I learned to apply to problem solving and the character I built studying for six years in an ambitious, competitive "incubator" like Cambridge. In my opinion, there is no short cut to this learning and maturation process.
However, whether a few elite Thiel Fellows choose to eschew a formal University education is not the point. The reason that the US is dropping in international competitiveness and despite 9% unemployment there are still insufficient scientists and engineers to fill available positions in the US is because far too few students are pursuing these degrees. Unlike their peers in China and India, where Science and Engineering are the most popular degree subjects, far more American students opt to study Business, Accounting, Marketing, Law etc. There are many reasons that US students are not studying Science and Technology. These subjects are viewed as technically rigorous and Science and Engineering students typically don't begin their careers with the same high salaries offered to Business and Law students. Therefore, opting to study Business or Law is seen by some students as a short cut to greater wealth.
These new Thiel Fellowships send a dangerous message to high school students that there might be an even easier short cut to success and wealth – they don't need to study for any degree at all, just start a company and you can be the next Mark Zuckerberg.
If we learned one thing from the recent financial crisis, it's that there are no short cuts that work for long. Too much financial engineering rather than actual engineering will end in tears. Speculating on increasingly leveraged housing stocks is not a sustainable short cut to financial success. Similarly, stopping out of college to start a social media company is not a sustainable path to long term career success for all but a tiny, tiny fraction of the population. High school students need to appreciate that studying hard in rigorous subjects, like science and engineering, leads to marketable job skills and long term career success. It doesn't prevent students from pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors after college – rather it gives them the fundamental grounding to do so.
Science and Engineering is not the same as Social Media
The second point about the Thiel Fellowship that concerns me is that, in addition to the expected social media business ideas proposed by these fellows, many of the fellows plan to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors in scientific fields such as synthetic biology, solar energy, and space exploration. These are technically sophisticated fields, built upon deep science and engineering foundations. Given my science background I am obviously biased, but in my opinion starting a technology company is not the same as starting the next social media company.
Most technically talented students can buy a copy of "Ruby on Rails for Dummies" and "Object-C for Dummies" and put together a rudimentary social media website and accompanying mobile app in their bedroom over a weekend. In fact, I recently did this and it was great fun. I do not believe that reading "Synthetic Biology for Dummies" qualifies even the most talented student to setup a lab to produce bio-pharmaceuticals or cellulosic biofuels. Similarly, reading "Quantum Mechanics for Dummies" doesn't qualify even the brightest high school student to develop a higher efficiency solar cell material in their garage. There are certain fundamental scientific concepts and foundational experiments that any young scientist needs to learn and perform before they can start a company and develop a technology.
Much has been made of how the Thiel Fellowship will find the next Gates, Jobs, or Zuckerberg. Even in the fields of software and social media, it's difficult to add many more names to this list. In science and engineering, the list of people who made it to the pinnacle of their fields without first completing a degree is even shorter; Albert Einstein is the exception which proves the rule.
What's the rush?
Finally, when I read about these teenage wunderkinds starting new science and technology enterprises, I find myself asking, what is the rush? If I had one question for each of these Thiel Fellows, it would be – Is your entrepreneurial idea so good that you have to do it now? Will it be scooped or stale by the time you graduate college? – and if you were smart enough to come up with this idea this year, won't you come up with an even better idea after college, once you've learned some science and engineering fundamentals?
In sports there is always great debate about whether Kobe should have played college ball for a couple of years, or whether Andrew Luck should "stop out" of Stanford and join the NFL draft. For these sportsmen there is the risk that they could suffer a career ending injury during college that could cost them millions in lost income. They also know that the career of a professional sportsperson is short, so they need to make the most of it.
Neither argument applies to science and technology entrepreneurship. I've never heard of a career ending injury incurred during an undergraduate science laboratory. Also, no-one is suggesting that entrepreneurial careers are getting shorter. High school students today are unlikely to qualify for a social security paycheck for at least 50 years. Isn't it worth spending the first four years of that 50 year career learning the fundamentals that will stand you in good stead for the next 46?
In conclusion, it is time for a debate on how best to educate the next generation of American scientists and engineers. We need to ensure maximum access for our most talented students to the best possible education. Stimulating their research, innovation and entrepreneurship is key to US economic growth and to solving the huge problems facing our society such as healthcare, energy supply, and climate change. In my opinion, suggesting that some of our most talented students are best served by skipping a University education is not the way to start this debate.
