How do computer engineering students make pocket money, and why is this important?
Early 90s, college kids wrote accounting software.
Late 90s, they created websites.
In the 10’s, they created mobile apps.
Today, college kids are creating AI Agents to automate SME processes.
Looking back, it’s easy to link the what students were doing to what became a massive startup opportunity right after.
If you can glance at what MS and PhD students are doing, that’s even better than looking at BS/BE undergrads.
Tracking side-hustles of computer engineering college kids is a great leading-indicator of the direction of massive startup opportunities. They are the vanguard.
