Love this program, especially the rocket science bit. Must be very liberating to do that. I'm reminded of a story shared by an investigative journalist here in Ghana. When he researched Accra prostitutes, he found some who came from the north with their monthly budget planned, earning enough to support their families. It was a business venture for them. He also mentioned the students who prositute themselves for their school fees.

Awesome program. Even the oldest profession in the world needs real skills.

I think they are well positioned to succeed. After all, they have a healthy appetite for risk, which you need a little of as a an entrepreneur!
