Darn - no one? I guess this is too buried to get an answer now, but the issue still is important to me - I guess I will try Quora or something, or maybe even my entrepreneurs community.

You know, why does Google always claim its programs are to "help" small business, and everyone buys it? This program is really to "help" small business use Adwords.

When I was in college decades ago, engineering degrees were still really valuable, but there was also awareness that engineering was not immune to economic cycles - in fact, it was recognized that engineering had a "boom and bust" cycle. That doesn't seem to have been the case in a number of years, but I am wondering if it still might happen.

I personally think everyone should have a team to give them help and guidance, and members of that team should have their own teams. I think this is a good idea in theory - will be hard to do in practice though.

I like Guy Kawasaki - he has a nice personality and I like his politics, but I have never found his "entrepreneurial" advice all that useful. He is really a "corporate entrepreneur" - never really had to bootstrap his own startup, and by his own admission he has not been all that successful in investing in startups. What he has been colossally successful at, however, it "branding" himself with the "entrepreneur" name.

I like it - not sure why "priority' is not used more - it is such a useful construct. Instead of re-purposing it though, maybe add "tags' and still keep it super lean

Thanks EC - I didn't understand his point either but I expected it - that a self appointed spokesperson for these huge tech companies will try to invent some reason why they cant get this data. Of course they can - that data is readily available. The "someone who needs to do more research" it the person who made the comment - because his "research" attempt to find a reason to discredit this failed, though I am sure there will be more by apologists for this kind of behavior. If there really is some legal reason why summary statistics on employee age data can't be released, I still have never heard of it.
