Do I have the wrong university or the wrong attitude?
jlees: To add to the 'it's the same here' comments - I found the same at my university, in the UK. I was 'weird' for doing freelance work on my own and wanting to start a business. Others have chimed in with more local advice, but see if you can join the entrepreneurship club - hang out in the business school - go to events from other, nearby schools - connect with people online in the same region.Faculty certainly aren't the people to be getting inspired about business by. Most of them chose their comfortable offices and chairs precisely because the real world was too much bother ;-)
