Steven I just want to reiterate what you said so well. Doubts about any ventures is OK but an honest entrepreneur persuading his goal the way he believes is the right way is worth a lot. Actually I think that is more the American dream than 'money and power'. Education where and how and why odes seldom make a great impact on someone's life / happiness / or ability to persuade the often talked about American dream. Unfortunately my believe in education in is rapidly diminishing for many reasons where the small discrepancies between different forms of education is disappearing, thus creating this norm for thinking, which often is criticized here at Vortex. I think rightfully so.
