My younger brother, Mitch, and his friends, as well as some of my own friends, would come after school to help. At sixteen I was
now a young entrepreneur, paying them for their help. I was surprised by the number of orders I was getting for more and more equipment. Soon I didn't have time to build and design new things. Giving over this work to other kids gave me more time to do what I wanted to do. —“On Becoming an Inventor,”
Dean Kamen
What can you conclude about Kamen from this passage?
He wanted to create jobs for his friends.
He wanted to design and invent new things.
He was too lazy to do the work himself.
He thought that money was more important than his friends.
He became an entrepreneur at 16. He kept inventing things and kept getting more and more orders for the things he invented. This shows that he wanted to design and invent new things. He didn't have time to create all the new things anymore and handed it down to other kids.
