How about arguing this without the personal component. It wouldn't matter whether I did or did not for the validity of the argument. My perception is that we are arguing about the use of the word "entrepreneur" to describe college faculty. My thought was that maybe you did not understand the concept. I can see the use of the word as an analogy, because, after all, successful faculty do have to produce and "sell" something of value. I would not call someone who works for someone else an entrepreneur, especially not someone who works for a large institution or organization. Entrepreneurs start businesses, they own them. Their own capital is at risk if the business fails. Henry Ford was an entrepreneur. His children are not, nor are the employees of Ford Motor Corporation, nor are the shareholders. And neither are you.;^)
