It is statements like this that validate my post.
People do NOT always do what they want to do, and not necessarily what they're good at -- often times there are limitations and a lack of opportunity for innovation/ entrepreneurship.
I've always believed entrepreneurship is possible -- but then again I've been raised in a University town, so a startup would not be extraordinary.
But Camden, the poorest city in the US, (which also has the highest Puerto Rican concentration, at 37% of the population) and do you think a minority has the same chance of a startup?
I'm not looking for controversy though, just continued (including your comment) intelligent discussion and maybe even potential solutions.
YC News seems like a pretty smart crowd -- why not leverage that for thoughts, comments, suggestions and even complaints?
