BENJAMIN GOERING does not look like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, talk like him or inspire the same controversy. But he does apparently think like him.Two years ago, Mr. Goering was a sophomore at the University of Kansas, studying computer science and philosophy and feeling frustrated in crowded lecture halls where the professors did not even know his name.“I wanted to make Web experiences,” said Mr. Goering, now 22, and create “tools that make the lives of others better.” 本杰明·戈林(Benjamin Goering)的长相和说话方式都不像Facebook的创始人马克·扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)，也不像他那样备受争议。但是他们的想法显然是相似的。两年前，戈林先生在堪萨斯大学(University of Kansas)读大二，学习计算机科学和哲学。在拥挤的大教室里，他感到郁闷，在那里，教授们甚至不知道他叫什么。“我想要创造网络体验，”现年22岁的戈尔说，“创造出那种让其他人生活得更好的工具。” So in the spring of 2010, Mr. Goering took the same leap as Mr. Zuckerberg: he dropped out of college and moved to San Francisco to make his mark. He got a job as a software engineer at a social-software company, Livefyre, run by a college dropout, where the chief technology officer at the time and a lead engineer were also dropouts. None were sheepish about their lack of a diploma. Rather, they were proud of their real-life lessons on the job.“Education isn’t a four-year program,” Mr. Goering said. “It’s a mind-set.” |
