When I was in college I did part time work as a marketing assistant for a local company. The work involved researching the best practices and techniques of companies like Amazon and Netflix.
It was an interesting work experience. I was also part of a team that was responsible for taking our own company’s website and making it a bit more “customized” to our website’s unique requirements.
On the other hand, it turns out that the company would not give us a credit card, so we ended up paying the fees and it was our fault for not being able to find a way to earn credit cards.
We had the opportunity to do a series of jobs for the company (at the same time). From our own work to our team members who had interned there, we had a chance to see the company from both sides. It’s definitely a good thing that they do not give out credit cards, but it’s just a bit of a shame that it took us so long to figure out how to do it. It made the process of starting up a company much more difficult and expensive.
One of our biggest goals with this job was to get the company to hire a new employee to take over the company’s position. We had the opportunity to do that, so we set up a recruiting platform for the company. We had a great idea. When the company had hired a new employee, we asked for a few minutes to speak with the new client. We were told to give the client an initial offer to work full time.
The company is an amazing organization, but we have to make the process of hiring a new employee much easier and more efficient. Not only does it make our process a lot more cost-effective, it also makes everything more efficient.
It was great to meet with the new client. I had never heard of this company before. It was very impressive. The new client is a beautiful young woman who has been dating an ambitious young man, but has been without a husband for over a year. Before she can take the company home, she must come to bed with her boyfriend because it is so hard to get a husband when you have no money.
As it turns out, it takes a lot more to get a new business off the ground than a new college student off the bus. And that’s where uc berkeley comes in. uc is a startup accelerator based in Berkeley, California. We’re offering a $10K (or 10% of the application fee) discount if you come to our office. We’re also offering a $500 investment in the company.
If you are interested in investing, there are over 1000 of us out there already. If you have an application or if you are interested in applying for any of the offices, you can reach out to ucberkeley@gmail.com or apply online.
So how does an MBA sound? I know that sounds like a whole lot of money, but it’s not. $250K is a relatively small amount for a new business, and the idea of getting a real job and putting in a few years studying is definitely worth it.
