Hi all,

I thought people here (and perhaps especially their teenage unschoolers)
might be interested in this essay by Paul Graham:
http://www.paulgraham.com/hiring.html

He's a computer nerd type, and writes lots about and from that
perspective, but often his thoughts on how the school system works leads
him to very unschoolish perspectives. This essay is discussing the
relative merits of jumping in and trying to start a company in your late
teens or early twenties rather than trying to follow the school -> job
path.

Hope it's not too off topic,

He actually has a whole series of articles that are
interesting. For instance, his article
"What you'd wish you'd known" is very unschoolish!
