So you want to be a star?

Economics Professor Larry delivers the next installment of his popular lecture series about entrepreneurship with a talk called, “So you want to be a star?”

Frustrated with watching students waste their talent in an increasingly competitive job market, Smith wants to inspire Waterloo students to become stars in whatever career they pursue. “What it means to be a star is that you have freedom; the freedom to do the work that you want to do . . . to choose an employer if that’s necessary,” says Smith. “Stars have choice. Commodities do not.”
