My question is on behalf of my husband, and sorry to ask you to generalize, but...

Do people typically become VCs as a "second act" in their careers? Or are they typically groomed in their 20s and follow a fairly straight path?

Or both?

My husband is 48 and currently a contract IT project manager. I have often believed, however, that he would be better suited as either a stock analyst or some kind of business analyst/investor.

Please be blunt (I'm a headhunter and live in the real world)... do you ever see people becoming VCs in their late 40s? My husband has a degree in computer science from MIT. He manages our stock portfolio and in the past five years has consistently come out 15 to 20% higher than the DOW.

Can you tell me Who Are VCs? Thank you.

Do you honestly believe that most 15-year-olds who promised to remain abstinent, but didn't, are going to admit it?

Unless your statistics are based on a gynecological exam, I don't buy that number for a second. In fact, a statistic I heard a few weeks ago, was that those programs have an almost total failure rate.

Show me lab tests, not the word of a 15 year old who wants people to believe he or she kept her word.

The young woman who was on ealier, didn't catch her name, said that after so many years, the abstinence rate among teens who received abstinence education was something like 98 percent ... ?

My question is: How do you know? Where do you get that information?

From the teens?
