In college, most of the people learn sort of literacy--but not
education. World's great people like Edison
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison>, A. R. Rahman have no
college experience either. Your 6 years experience shouldn't have to be
overlooked; for me it's much better than 40 years and sort of.

Sometime, instead of taking "employees" if you take "partners", it
will work. I'll strongly suggest you to check the following links as
they might help you much or at least give you energy:
1. How to Start a Startup <http://www.paulgraham.com/start.html>
2. How to be a Programmer: A Short, Comprehensive, and Personal
Summary <http://samizdat.mines.edu/howto/HowToBeAProgrammer.html>

If you're new to Usenet, you might also need to check:
