The Case Against the College Degree
http://www.smartmoney.com/Personal-Finance/College-Planning/The-Case-Against-the-College-Degree/
I was listening to John Taylor Gatto (new book, “Weapons of Mass Education”) on the radio a couple of nights ago. He rattled off about ten names of people who started companies such as Microsoft, Dell. These ten people either didn’t bother to attend college or if they did, didn’t bother to graduate. They did pretty well for themselves as everyone knows. He did mention one person, Wozniak (sp?) who decided to go to college to earn a teaching degree (giving back to the community, I guess).
He also mentioned open source education which is available to all today. He said parents should encourage their children to become entrepreneurial and open their own businesses while teenagers.
What a brilliant, worthwhile article. Thank you so much for posting it. I forwarded it to my favorite young person who is working on a doctorate.
