The Realities of ‘College Education’:
1)Keys to success in world has nothing to do with a degree
2) Who you know and who you ‘blow’—access to capital whether family, friend, political connections etc
3) Very few ideas are original, most success comes from improving on existing ideas
4) Nearly(not all) all training for ANY career could be done through much cheaper methods than the over priced four year college
5) Stop putting a bachelor degree on a pedestal to be worshiped
My college degree hangs over my toilet as a daily reminder of these realities.
Success in the corporate world may require that degree.
2) Who you know and who you ‘blow’—access to capital whether family, friend, political connections etc
I never liked that attitude but it does match what I've experienced.
3) Very few ideas are original, most success comes from improving on existing ideas
Agreed.
4) Nearly(not all) all training for ANY career could be done through much cheaper methods than the over priced four year college
Much true.
5) Stop putting a bachelor degree on a pedestal to be worshiped
I don't know that the Bachelor's degree is worshiped these days. I think it's more a requirement.
