The start-up bubble
Right now, it seems like the biggest, buzziest business opportunities are coming from the start-up world. With the sudden proliferation of convenient smartphone apps that range from Venmo, a personal finance management tool, to Snapchat, the wildly popular picture messaging application, it’s no wonder that mobile start-ups are becoming the darlings of venture capital firms everywhere. Around campus, it also seems that students are getting excited about job opportunities in Silicon Valley, which are becoming an increasingly common career of choice. It’s like a modern day gold rush, with students rushing to California to pan for the next Twitter rather than precious metals.
