?!
I thought you'd already graduated? Is this a different degree?

master's in technology commercialization...aka: entrepreneurship. time to find a job with a vc! :-)

interesting, from where, and how long did take you?

(and did you learn anything useful at all? teaching "entrepreneurship" seems kinda like teaching creativity; pretty difficult to do....)

ut austin, 12 months while working full time...

and yes, i definitely learned lots of useful stuff. it's not about coming up with an idea for a business, but rather how to incubate an idea into a successful company -- how to write a business plan, how to pitch a venture for funding, how to run simulations for risk analysis, how you structure compensation packages, how to pick a management team with the skills to help your venture, etc.

despite all my complaining about it, i really did find it interesting.
