The Harvard Crimson reports on a rather strange offer. Namely:
When edX courses Entrepreneurship 101 and 102 opened Friday, enrollees
had an extra incentive to complete the courses: Users who pass either
class will receive $1,000 in credit to spend on Amazon Web Services.
This is the ultimate in Millennial mindsets. Not only do they want to do something they like, or rather not work, but now they get "paid" to become an entrepreneur! You cannot make this up. Perhaps they should just skip everything and go directly to an IPO and cash out.
