It's 8:30. My Biology prof didn't show up...well...he hadn't shown up when we all left. Did anyone else see the article entitled "Do What You Love...And Starve?" on the front of the MSN homepage yesterday? Here's a couple of excerpts in case you missed it:

"We've been sold a bill of goods when we're told to 'Follow your passion,' or 'Do what you love and the money will follow.' Fact is, if you do what you love, you'll probably starve. Yes, some people do what they love and the money follows. Others make less money but still are happy, but millions of people have followed their passion and still haven't earned enough money to even pay back their student loans, let alone make a middle-class living doing what they're passionate about.

"Advice I'd Give My Child
If you're at all entrepreneurial, I recommend starting your own business...Just this one rule: Do not innovate. Copy a successful simple business. Innovations are risky. Your product might not work, may not be popular with the public, or a competitor could beat you to market. Why be a guinea pig? Drive around to find a simple business at which customers are lined up out the door. For example, see a successful burrito shop or espresso cart? Open a similar one in a similar neighborhood...Confine your urge to innovate to your hobbies."

I wonder what Dr. Keating (Dead Poet's Society) would have to say about that...
