that is true. we were taught to do well in school. I know that this phrase has been repeatedly used to describe our youths, but it holds a lot of weight. How many of us would have dared to risk scoring below 200 for our PSLE to explore building up a nice webpage, or a nice storefront for our Neopets shop? All these experiences are actually the start of programmers.
I am guilty of being caught up with the grade chase, having gone through a good secondary school followed by JC, and now Uni. I find it too late for me to realise this only now. But i am not disheartened. We need more superstart stories like the acquisition of Brandtology and Beeconomics to let the youths realise..it is never too late to start.
thanks for your recommendation on the incubator system! in fact, Singapore is starting to pick up in since last year. There is now a Singapore chapter for Startuproots. Perhaps we are on to something in the next 5 years :)
