This makes me feel better

From the Chronicle of Higher Education’s Wired Campus:

New Study Debunks Myth That Most Tech Entrepreneurs Are College Kids
The research, sponsored by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, studied U.S. engineering and technology companies founded between 1995 and 2005. It found that the median and average age at which U.S.-born entrepreneurs founded their technology and engineering companies was 39. There were twice as many entrepreneurs older than fifty than those who were younger than twenty-five, and 1 percent of U.S.-born founders of tech companies were teenagers.

I have a habit of thinking of myself as “behind” in many ways. Step one is mitigating this feeling a bit through actual information rather than perception.

Step two, and the most important, is being rid of the idea of “behind” or “ahead” out of my brain.
