  • University of Utah Offers World Class Entrepreneurship Program

    By Chunlin Wang, University of Utah

    Several weeks ago I came across an online article (in Chinese) titled “Reflection on the Career Path of a Chinese American Woman as a Graduate of MIT”. The lady was No. 1 in her middle school and high school and a top student at MIT. When she graduated from MIT, Google as a small startup tried hard to recruit her. Despite the persuasion of her classmates, she decided to join a blue-chip firm, because doing so seemed much secure for her future. In contrast, some of her classmates who were not as good as her in study later became very successful on career after founding or joining promising startups. Now she regrets about the choice she made. This article was so interesting that it prodded me to think about related issues. Here I would like to take this opportunity to share my thoughts with you, hoping that they will helpful to your study.
