I believe it’s important for people running businesses in Boston to talk on college campuses and help other young people figure out the world of college / graduation / jobs / startups / LIFE! I often times have gone to BC, BU, Suffolk, Babson, and UMass and have spoken to entrepreneur, Finance, marketing, and other business clubs with the goal of talking about SPECIFIC tips and tricks I picked up through college that can help. I’m also able to meet a ton of new students with different views and thoughts on what I’m currently building. It’s a win-win, and I suggest other young business leaders in Boston get out into the community and speak to students about specific things they can do to help.
I too often a time remember going to “guest lectures” in college and listening to people I simply could not relate to. Sixty year old businessmen speaking about generic business thoughts like “find your passion and work hard.” I’m all for working hard. And passion is very important. But GIVE ME SOME SPECIFICS MAN!
Well. Here they are. SPECIFIC things students can and should do in college if they are interested in pursuing a future in business and entrepreneurship. Please let me know what you think!
My name is Ryan Durkin. I write so that I will never forget where I came from and what I stand for. I hope that this will motivate young people to realize their potential and become more productive than they ever imagined. That would make me truly happy.
