This place is deservedly called the "reserve of millionaires": according to 2016, there are as many as 180 thousand of them! Still, Silicon Valley is not for them alone ... Does this surprise you? Let's see why almost everyone can go there to fulfill their potential.
In 1971, journalist Don Hefler proposed the name Silicon Valley. From a business point of view, it represents a mutual benefit between the creators of ideas and those who are willing to sponsor and promote them. As Paul Graham aptly put it, this is the perfect collaboration between the rich and the nerds.
Another important feature of the Valley is the close connection between business and education. Ambitious "nerds" from different parts of the planet study here, they are actively developing and want to sell their knowledge and skills. Those who want to learn about business and how to buy this knowledge and skills correctly and use it profitably also come here.
You may be surprised, but you can get an education there for an extremely low cost! It is not necessary to enroll in Berkeley - for a quality education, an ordinary community college, which provides basic higher education within 2 years, is quite suitable. One academic year will cost about 6-7 thousand dollars. At the same time, having received an education, you can easily stay in the country to work.
Such colleges include, for example, Foothill College or De Anza College . They are located in the Valley and will give you great knowledge, skills and, most importantly, opportunities! Business applicants should focus on marketing, while IT applicants should focus on computer science.
