Yang offers alternative career path

October 18, 2011

Richard Yu / The Dartmouth Self-proclaimed "business guy" Andrew Yang, founder and president of the non-profit organization Venture for America, promoted taking the career path less traveled and working for entrepreneurial start-ups in front of an audience of approximately 20 Dartmouth students in Carson Hall on Tuesday evening. Venture for America is a new two-year fellowship program that places selected recent college graduates from the "top 30 national institutions" with start-up companies in "low-cost" cities such as Detroit, New Orleans or Providence, Yang said. "[Venture for America] thinks that too many of our smart and talented people have blindly gotten into finance, consulting and law," Yang said, "Not enough have chosen to go the business and entrepreneurial route." Yang revealed that about 50 percent of Harvard undergraduates pursue law school, medical school, finance or consulting internships or other offers from organizations such as Teach for America.
