During the cold war it was cool to be an astronaut, now it is being the CEO of the next mobile social local photo sharing startup

, in Silicon Valley.

Believe me, it's a very local cultural thing. If you live there and read HN, which is basically projecting said culture into the world and attracting the few outliers elsewhere who feel the same, it's easy to think that the whole world is like this. It isn't.

Or, at least, where I live, nobody thinks it's cool to be the CEO of the next mobile social local photo sharing startup.

And I still would love to be an astronaut. Just in case someone is hiring around here ;-)

I'd change careers in a blink.


I wouldn't neccessarily say that. Starting your own startup has definitely gained "street-cred" over the years. Then again, I go to college in Boston
