I found this after reading Baker’s book (which I loved) and love this take as well. One thing I wanted to call out - your finding that the vast majority of Stanford entrepreneurs started their companies after (and usually long after) graduation seems to be an effective debunking of the dropout-founder myth - a myth that, as I read Baker’s book, is the source of a lot of the problems he describes. I wonder how Stanford - and other schools - can take a role in debunking this myth so that students are less likely to get dragged into the shadiest “opportunities” and more likely to take a more long-term view of their career paths?
