I enthusiastically endorse Jim’s book, Graduate a CEO.  For many of our students, the best part of their education is learning precisely these out-of-the-classroom applications of the concepts and tools they are learning in their courses.  Jim has packaged the essential how-to’s of becoming an entrepreneur while in college in a highly readable, useful book that all students should read.
