There are so many innovative opportunities out there that haven't even been tapped into. I am further reminded of Peter Drucker when he analyzed the different types of innovative opportunities and found that scientific was the most risky and had the longest lag time from conception to market ready.

I attended both an engineering program and an MBA and the latter was a waste as an entrepreneur. Engineers are actually more successful entrepreneurs because they are encouraged to create change while MBAs have people maintain the status quo. Of course, MBAs tell you the importance of being original and creating change, but actively discourage it in practice. I agree.
