because they cannot take time away from the paying jobs that are supporting their education.Other possible factors affecting the choices of students could include (2) Students completing their junior year do not want to take time away from their senior- year studies, including their capstone project, and (3) Students completing their senior year do not want to take the risk of pursuing a startup when they could instead obtain a “real” job.And other factors, certainly, may play a role, too. For example, it is possible that that thestudents’ projects, while worthwhile, were not at a level of significance that students felt justifiedfurther effort.
