I agree. When I read this, it felt a bit fake. While I plan on doing something entrepreneurial after college (June 2011), most of my classmates aren't built for it. I've traveled in developing countries by myself, started small ventures (mostly failed), ran student clubs, studied entrepreneurship in bschool, read a ton of businessy books etc. I've been building up to this for a while. Not that you need any of this necessarily, but I suspect it makes me somewhat more ready for the shitty parts of starting a business.
Most of my classmates (in psychology) would not be able to pull off a venture very easily with so little org or tech experience at 21-22.
