More and more I think the smart play is that for ANYTHING outside of a hard science, IT and maybe business:

You’re simply better off just NOT going to college at all.

More and more Unis are indoctrination centers, EXPENSIVE ones, at that.

I absolutely believe this. What fresh-outta-high-school students want is a path into the American Dream and a fun social environment.

I put great hope in loosely organized "colleges" or trade schools that are organized around cool work environments, such as companies like WeWork are creating.

It's crazy to throw away $20- to $50,000 a year when people can gain a wide range of skills and pay a much smaller amount of money for the same experience.

It's an entrepreneurial opportunity waiting to happen.
