I just found Under30Ceo today and have been working on a blog post about WHY it is a good time to start a company or tighten an existing one up. I need to have the post ready tonight....I've compiled different sources of info but this article is the best I've read.

I decided to look for my hard copy instead of reading the PDF. I couldn't find it anywhere...

It lists this reason, and many more... But I am conducting some research and coming up with enough reasons to even convince an actuarial major to start a company in college. :D
