MIT Alumni Create Companies With Combined Revenues of $2 Trillion!

I was just reading the articles from the Sloan newsroom and found some information, related to entrepreneurship and Sloan, that is truly amazing.

According to Professor Ed Roberts, "Estimates based on 2006 data revealed that living MIT alumni have founded or cofounded 25,800 companies that today employ 3.3 million people worldwide. The annual sales of these companies add up to about $2 trillion--the equivalent of the 11th-largest economy in the world." A lot of inferences can be drawn from this study but the most obvious one (obvious but which I will still point out!) is that if you are planning to go to Business School and entrepreneurship is your chosen goal then MIT Sloan is definitely the school for you.
