If you're like me, the greatest lesson your years of grad-school poverty taught you is that once you get past the basics like simple food and shelter, professional and personal happiness have little to do with money. When I look back on my years in graduate school, the financial penury my fellow students and I lived in barely registers as an issue. Instead, I remember the camaraderie of my classmates, the many adventures we had on and off campus, and the excitement I felt as my research took shape and I published my first papers. Nearly all the things we did for fun were free. And although I certainly hope one or more of my entrepreneurial ventures becomes successful, graduate school taught me to be motivated not by money but by the desire to make an impact on the world.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9836C4DB-1050-4EBB-8771-4DEDDA6EC02B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
