I'm hoping this link gets a lot of votes. There should be a lot more programs like this. Share the post with everyone you know. I don't necessarily think entrepreneurs must get training or a special education, but it's nice to see some thought about encouraging young people to get into entrepreneurship the same way they'd be encouraged to take some sort of job.
