Even though I’m no elitist, and I think most college degrees are very overrated, I do think that they are half-educated. Dropping out off college is hardly a badge of honor or success.

And you think that education, as opposed to credentialization and indoctrination, is what college is about these days?

I’ve met many people who are very successful and very well-rounded who have never set foot on a college campus.

As far as the people targeted in this article, they are multi-millionaires. I’m not. And neither is the writer.

Of course I don’t think that. Check out my posts here over the last 17 years. The bullshit indoctrination you properly refer to is so simple that the guys we are talking about learned it even though they did drop out.

You really ready to say that an actual engineering degree (for example) would have been a bad idea?
