Entrepreneurial Thinking
Me: SurveyMonkey.com solves all our [survey] problemsAt first, I thought: "$1,000,000 idea!" Then I did a rudimentary market analysis:
J: That's what we need ... a problem solver
Me: I need someone to do my research. That's what I need
J: Go to researchmonkey.com ;-)
Me: We need PhDMonkey.com
target population demand = high (depressed phd students)Nope. Better stick to my day job.
target population size = low (phd students)
overall demand = low (depressed phd students)
spending capacity of target population = low (graduate stipend)
market viability = laughably low

Actually I read in a big expose piece that there's an established market for people who will do your research and write your thesis. Apparently a few 10s of thousands of dollars will get you a PhD level specialist who does this full time. What I don't understand is how you find a supervisor who is clueless enough to fall for it.
