About Me:
I'm currently a student in my last semester at the U of MN-TC. Although I feel as if school is holding me back right now from my entrepreneurial ambition, I appreciate what I've learned while I've been at the U (inequalities and disparities, critical thinking, how to write better, etc.).
It's important to me that the world move toward a more sustainable, fair trade, eco-friendly paradigm than the race to be “King of the Hill” in marketshare and the race to the bottom in wages.
My entrepreneurial obsession is to start an affordable, fair trade, environmentally sustainable, jeans manufacturing company (whew! lot of descriptive words) within the U.S. and other nations. I think it's important for the U.S. to try to revitalize its manufacturing base so that this country can provide more jobs and get away from defense (more like OFFENSE) and arms manufacturers being a source of income for so many communities. It's also important to help bring jobs to third world nations and also for them to be able to utilize their entrepreneurial skills through such means as micro-credit.
If there are any people who have any relevant information for me about starting a jeans manufacturing firm, send me a line. Even if it doesn't have anything to do with my obsession, feel free to send me a line anyway:)
