It’s been questioned whether college is worth the price of admission. The problem with college are: it creates corporate drones, it doesn’t teach the way people learn, the info is rarely up-to date, and etc.

Seth Godin stated in an interview that the whole purpose of school is to create compliant workers.

Thanks for the post. It's a really interesting discussion and a very balanced take on it. Education (schooling) has got to help in some areas but some of the most entrepreneurial people I know just didn't fit with the education system at all.

Interesting question. I agree with your sentiments - and there's a big difference between an 18 year old going straight to college to be "molded" into a compliant lackey, and a mature adult going back for more education (as long as it isn't for the lauded "piece of paper")!

Absolutely!!

Most people have the dream of being entrepreneurs but not every has the skills. School does help in acquiring necessary skills

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
