61 Being a Collegepreneur Interview with Sandra Noonan, Content Scientist/Blogger

Season 1 · Episode 61

Thursday, November 19, 2015 • Duration 30:42

Noonan suggests following James Altucher. She developed the collegepreneur idea in response to critics, such as Altucher, that say to not bother with college anymore.

Things that college students going into college should think about:

Wages for college students are declining.

Noonan defines a collegepreneur as, “A student who manages the college experience so it doesn’t manage them.” It is important for students to use the resources available at a college to launch themselves into the life they want.

“They will have something to show for their college experience aside from a transcript,” Noonan further explains.
