Noonan suggests following James Altucher. She developed the collegepreneur idea in response to critics, such as Altucher, that say to not bother with college anymore.

Things that college students going into college should think about:

• The cost of college has increased by 300% in the last 30 years.
• Wages for college students are declining.

Noonan defines a collegepreneur as, “A student who manages the college experience so it doesn’t manage them.” It is important for students to use the resources available at a college to launch themselves into the life they want.

“They will have something to show for their college experience aside from a transcript,” Noonan further explains.
