"It's a big deal for a professor to dump a university. But dump Stanform Sebastian did. He dumped Stanford because he realized that he-as an individual-- holds the power, not Stanford as an institution"- Dale Stephens Fast Company article
A professor that leaves a great job at a great institution to pursue an opportunity to teach directly without the middle men. Sounds like an entrepreneur to me.
If you have the guts to work for your self, then you will be rewarded more than working for another. I agree with that statement. So why do most people fear leaving to work for oneself? (I did work a while and did not like my boss).
In my opinion, they do not if they can sustain the client flow. Your employer provides the constant work. At times it feels like too much but it is fairly constant. As a self-employed person you not only have to do the work BUT also seek new work. I found this very hard and suspect that others do also.
I also wonder how many people value the degree more than the source of information for that degree. A great professor can not teach every course in a program. So having a few courses from a single person would be great but enough for a degree would be impossible and undesirable.
Today's question is:
"Could you work for yourself?"
