Good old Business Model
I was quite surprised when one of my designated graduates told me he wouldn’t start working for our Institute instead following the offer of a young entrepreneur (also originated from or Institute). This offer aims for work at no payment for several months, but receiving shares of the yet to be founded software company instead. Whow, think about! Remember when Hewlet and Packard started with 536 Dollar in their pocket 60 years ago in an old garage. Despite the fact all our graduates are decoyed with lots of salary promises form countless head hunters, though, for me this is all good news. Who want’s to work for dreams these days? Who want’s to work for nothing (and the chicks for free)? Not one, not two, no wait a moment…., there are 3 of them. This class (or should I say “age cohort”) where those 3 young software engineers have emerged was always my favourite class. To remember, I told them how to build Enterprise Applications and I told them Unix too. Makes me proud a little bit too. Hey Guys, I wish you all the best, I wish you luck and remember the Institute likes guys like you.
