When someone says the phrase "business major" my insides tend to tense up. "Why can't you harness your passion for venture capitalism for good instead of evil?" I ask.

As it turns out, some folks are. Check this out from Time Magazine: Meet the Hard-Nosed Do-Gooders. Don't get me wrong...I still roll my eyes when I hear things like "market-based solutions for problems in the non-profit world."

But during these holiday days, it's good to read about people trying to improve the world, rather than exploit it for their own pocketbooks.

And besides, I told myself I wouldn't post about anything depressing until after January 2.
