The December 19 edition of the Washington Post contains an article written by Mr. Marc Fisher titled “A New Calling for Innovators” in which the author quotes a millennial as making the following statement regarding a governmental career on the Hill relative to pursuing an entrepreneurial career in the private sector in DC.
“A few years ago, people on Hill were revered”, “Now they are mocked”
Mr. Fisher goes on to state that the DC region is becoming a rapidly expanding incubator for innovative businesses along the line of those in Silicon Valley but the DC based firms are considerably broader in scope.
