*Tero finally admits what we all suspected all those years...*. He was just some average guy working in Biotech that was far from a Mobile Phone Technology Guru.. In the end.. He admits he was "just winging it". Pretty amazing with the arrogance he displayed. Tero Kuittinen on Twitter today. twitter.com I want to share something with all you 29 year old people in dead end jobs you hate, but feel too invested in to leave. I was a 29 year old biochemist who was really bad in basic research, trying to get a fourth publication out to finish my sub-par PhD. And I hated killing rats. I lived in Helsinki and made $34K a year and could only afford orange juice once a week. Then one day I emailed 100 American newspapers and websites and asked them to hire me as a mobile phone industry columnist because I’m a Finn. This was when Nokia was BFD. They all said no. Because every place that paid badly said no, I finally emailed TheStreet. They paid $500 per column and were at the time the hottest financial website on planet. And they hired me immediately. I sat there in the computer lab of the research center and just stared at the email. I made $1000 in two days doing two short columns. I went to a high end grocery store at Stockmann and bought the $7 orange juice called Brasil - it came in a black carton and had a lot of pulp and tasted like a new life. I got quoted by WSJ and placed pieces in Wired. I was still doing my doomed research, but also writing stuff after 8 PM in the quiet biochemistry center and then got hired by a hedge fund and then an outrageous mobile game startup and then the second biggest Finnish bank. And then I quit the basic research life I hated. The point here is that if a job you have invested 10 years in doesn’t work out, you gotta try to leave. Maybe you can’t, but you need to try. No matter how crazy and desperate. Just ask. Let desperation drive you to unhinged directions. 99% of the time the answer is “Absolutely no - why on Earth would you even ask us? Who are you? Is this a joke?”, which is what Tallahassee Democrat told me in 1998. But it doesn’t matter. Long shots work when you make 100 of them. Try to get out while you can. Especially biochem. And so it goes, PCSTEL
