I studied electrical engineering and I value my college experience and education. However, at the same time I think college, and school in general, instills a tunnel-vision mentality. I'm sure engineering students have heard it before from their professors and TAs, "Specialize, specialize, specialize!" I eventually enrolled in a PhD program, until I was able to take a step back and I realized that I didn't enjoy what I was studying, but rather I was still in school because while in school I believed I didn't have a choice.

I've always wanted to start my own business. It was at this point that I realized something: I don't want a PhD, I want to hire PhDs. :)
