Some will have very shallow sides, but most have a rise of about an inch or so, depending on the size of the dish itself.

Millennial: Entrepreneurship provides flexibility necessary for a balanced life" I don't know where you get your information but I can tell you that is very far from the truth. I'm an entrepreneur myself and I can tell you that the hours are insane and I do sleep at the office on some nights. My friends who are entrepreneurs do the same. In fact, unless your business is well established (which takes 8-10 years) your going to be living a busy life. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, you'll be starting another business once the first one is established anyways. Everyone: Don't be fooled that entrepreneurship will give you a flexible work schedule. Sure you can not come in for a morning, but you'll be meeting a client or doing something else from home. Also notice what the author uses to backup her statement :"Harris Interactive reports that men in their 20s and early 30s value making time for their family more than they value landing a powerful job." Sure they might value making time for their family, but if they are starting a business, I can promise you that it won't happen.

It’s likely to change over time, but finding your passion is good practice." This may be one of the best pieces of advice I've read in months, maybe years. People underestimate how hard it is to find (or figure out) what their passion is. I'm always envious of people who seem to have found theirs, and be comfortable with their choice. It's hard work, and tricky, to discover and nurture a truly passionate involvement in something. “Passion is something you have to look for every day of your life.

Contrast that with what I saw on a news show the other night where they profiled a young Silicon Valley entrepreneur with great quotes like "I don't know anyone who works 40 hours a week." His wife, taking care of their 3 kids while he works 80 hours/week living the dream, recounted the story of how he told her, after consulting his Blackberry, that she could not go into labor on Monday or Wednesday because he had meetings already scheduled. Not my dream. Definitely not my wife's dream. But hey, as long as it works for them. It is encouraging to read the new perspectives on entrepreneurship.
