I'm graduating from my undergrad business program in 3 months with a Finance degree. I'm trying to get into the start up space, specifically looking at Internet and Tech ventures. What's the best way to go about trying to find opportunities for a recent grad with some experience? I'm using my personal network and sites including Startuply, Brazen, and perusing VC portfolio job boards. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

I worked from home yesterday morning and accomplished a ton of work. Seems like I'm always able to focus when I'm working from home. Is this rare--I feel like I'm in the minority here?

Kinda hard to do from home, especially when a lot depends on the high-end hardware and software that never leaves the facility, not to mention the 10Gbit network throughout the facility. Remote connections suck, especially with the security involved and the narrowness of the bandwidth pipe.

I've worked from home for over 10 years. :) I work part time now, and have enough free time to go to school. (Never been.)
I've never needed a college degree to get a job I want. However, I was interested in some input. I would love to continue to work from home, so I'm researching possible career paths after college that will allow me to work from home, plus to be able to take those courses that might be helpful.
Any tips?

I'm really trying not to do this anymore though. I really ran myself ragged last fall and I'm done. I've found that when I sacrifice sleep, I'm not as productive and I walk around in a blur. Plus it promotes pre-mature aging..not worth it! Right now I'm just trying to focus on the key things that need to be accomplished to keep me productive and healthy. So far it is working out ok. and...L'Occitane Lavender Shea butter hand cream is my favorite lavender luxury :)

There are even non profits for anarchists-the ultimate in conformity. 1st order, get licensed BEFORE starting a non-profit.

What do you think is the best method of presenting the idea of working your position remotely to your boss when you know very well that you can maintain just as much -- if not more -- productivity at home as you can in the office?

Like grade school in NJ/CT to watch these flix in an actual theater-makes my skin crawl. Best 'Nosferatu' 'Exorcist' or 'Damien.'

I've always wanted to be location dependent. One of my biggest hurdles: carrying a very limited passport. There's red tape everywhere.

I was wondering how people thought was the best way of introducing this idea to an org? Many are resistant even in the nonprofit sector.
