- Entrepreneur David Casarez quit his job as a web developer at General Motors to launch his own tech startup.
- However, he ran out of money and was already living out of his van.
- So Casarez stood on the highway and handed out copies of his résumé. A driver passing by tweeted a photo and Casarez's story went viral. He's received job offers from Google and other tech giants.
- Casarez said he wants to try his hand at entrepreneurship again, at some point in the future.
David Casarez quit his job as a web developer at General Motors just months shy of his 26th birthday.
Years earlier, he'd made a pact with himself, that by the time he turned 26, he'd start his own business.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
