Last day to vote for our #SXSW<\/a> 2014 panel! Should students stay in school or drop out to start companies? VOTE: bit.ly\/14xp0id<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

As appointment based learning is by nature an appointment 6 months away… I’m doling out the knowledge now<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
-1- Drop out in the summer<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yes, get admitted to YC by early May<\/div>\n
Yes, go to YC demo day dry run march 24 at 4:30PM at COMPUTER SCIENCE MUSEUM.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yes, you’re losing your dignity as an engineer doing sales stuff and crashing parties<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first casualty of entrepreneurship isn’t sleep REM cycles… It is your dignity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-2- Lever the free knowledge at Stanford<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This phrase will rock your pre-entrepreneurship, prepreneur world: RMRMRE <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Search the hashtag that is a system to eliminate risk<\/div>\n
#RMRMRE<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-3- Dropping out as an Econ major versus engineering major.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you’re an Econ major, you can start a startup and play a varsity sport. If you’re an engineer…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-4- Fail Forward after YC \/ Thiel Fellows<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s a blog post I wrote.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-5- Getting knowledge of an MBA before you’re admitted<\/div>\n
