[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our school, this started last year and has really accelerated with this year’s senior class. And not just non-profits, but also starting small businesses. Personally don’t like that colleges are rewarding kids starting something and ditching it once apps are done vs. helping established non-profits or learning to work at a typical summer job.[/quote] I agree. In my opinion, starting small businesses is similarly ill-advised. Kids don't know what they don't know, and if starting and running a business were a true goal, they would learn from others first by...working for a business. "Started my own business" may sound impressive to a teenager, but adults should know better, that such situations are really the blind leading the blind, and under sort-of false pretenses (college admissions) to boot.[/quote]
