Having lived through my share of bubbles, it always surprises me that people think they can predict the future. The phrase I hear is, "That could NEVER happen again." And then it does. I agree with thelynchmob1's comment, too. Many younger people are seeing startups as an antidote to corporate life, but they don't have the experience that working for a larger company can give you first.

Not even working for a larger company, but working for any company -- including and especially other startups -- would give people invaluable experience that they could then go and use later down the line.

Absolutely.
