They don’t.

I interviewed a kid whose dad is an auto dealer talk about “his business”. His dad even had fake business cards printed.

Kid got in.

I will admit I had to admire the dad’s initiative. Not so sure about the kid. He was nice enough but lots of kids are nice.

Drives me nuts. So many of these non profits serve absolutely no one.


Is it me, or do many of them seem to specialize in providing sick kids with stuffed animals?


Also providing period products to underserved communities.


This is huge, but not original at all. They all do this.

That would be fine at directional universities. The top schools aren’t interested in worker bees.

That's a good idea. I could send my kids to help the homeless in San Francisco. Our ticket to Harvard!

Or at least Harvard-Westlake

Hawaii? I guess if you are rebuilding Maui.

What’s similar to Hawaii? Bermuda? Turks?
