Ramit – I love this idea, thanks for posting – now you just need to hunt something down like this for young professionals (past their student stage)! If you do (and you remember) give me a shout!

Ramit,

Thanks for helping us out by posting this opportunity on iwillteachyoutoberich. Your site is the #1 driver of traffic to the application. I’ve found many other blogs who have picked up the story because they saw your post. The ripple effect has been great. Thanks for your help!

Well now that you mention it, I have went back through your posts and I think it was miss-placed anger… There are other blogs that are completely distracting.. for instance I will be working, see the rss feed, read it, then be like WHOAW I need to try that NOW.

Your blog is typically a little more subtle, with showing stuff you don’t like or pointing out noise or minutia.

You have to understand, typically I would have just been like “o, a social entrepreneurship scholarship.. meh.” This post made me actually think of some things that I could do over the next year or two and put the due date on my calendar. Now it still is to be seen whether I submit an application, but that is a lot more than I typically have done..

What a great idea – concrete ways to get active just as Earth Day is upon us! If I were still in school I’d apply.

I am really starting to dislike your blog. I guess I need to reserve reading it to only on weekends where I have a few hours to spare on whatever you convince me to do.

You are really good at guilting people into doing stuff though. .. with you multitude of posts on being proactive etc.

Part of what I do besides business stuff and grad school is math lecturing (yea I know shh). I love having stuff like this to share with my students – but since Im not teaching this term, I have sent it to friends who are adjuncts or full time instructors! Thanks!

(I just have to remember to write up my idea as well)
