Comment on Will Dropouts Save America?

It's all mentality. The "I'll get a degree, find a job, and move up the ladder" way of doing things is dying.

If you have the drive, thirst to educate yourself, and hustle to go out and do it, you probably don't need college (referring to business degree).

College has some good things to offer, but too often it's a false reality. You don't learn the real world lessons that come from dealing with actual clients, paying you actual money, to provide actual value.

You can only learn so much with case studies and papers.

I learned more in the first 3 months at an internship at a marketing agency were I was getting paid $8/hr than the 4 years of college, which cost $100k.
