Esther Dyson Job Quotations

Our job is not simply to accredit registrars. It's to make sure the test works,

The great thing is, Internet allows you to create your own job, not just look for jobs other people are going to give you. And that, combined with the American spirit, I think, is going to help us come out of the recession faster than other countries. And I think it's going to help Africa come out of, you know, a century of slump.

It's not that you have jobs on the Internet, but the Internet makes it possible for more people to build their own jobs. What it does is, it erodes the power of institutions. It used to be you needed an institution to have a job. But, if you look at people, I don't think any of us is really employed by an institution. We run our own lives.

We decided we needed to be something concrete rather than something nebulous you couldn't negotiate with. This is an interim board. Our job is to figure out how to create a permanent system with a permanent board.
