Business-school entrepreneurs: In the beginning | The Economist - http://www.economist.com/busines...
"Like so many MBA students, when Ian Dailey enrolled at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business he knew that he wanted to start his own business at some point. He just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. “You will hear this from a lot of students,” he says. “The university has a high enrolment in the entrepreneurs’ club, but most take a look at the loans they have taken out [to pay for their tuition] and the uncertainty involved in setting up a business and they end up taking corporate jobs. I was in the same boat too. You may have aspirations to be an entrepreneur, but on-campus recruiting becomes such a big thing and everyone’s getting jobs left and right and you get sucked into that world of corporate presentations. But that never seemed right for me.”" - Angus Burton from Bookmarklet
