      The Thiel Fellowship gives $100k to 25 kids a year to drop out of college and start a company. This morning a Thiel Fellowshow recipient (now 25 years old) just sold a self-driving car startup he started with his $100k for $3.4 billion at age 18. Hell yeah.

      I am amazed at how many people have found a way to be upset by this. Please, people...you will find much more joy in life when you are happy for other people’s successes. You might also find that those people you cheered for will cheer for you too.

      I am very happy for that kid. I have a big problem with the agenda that the wider story seems to be pushing. In no way does Thiel's hobby prove the anti-higher ed message that many people are reading into it.

      It adds to it. But yes lots of other stories do w better job at showing how most higher ed is not worth it

      Can I infer from that that you are talking about the debt burden for individuals is not worth it?

      I'm saying most of higher ed is not worth it because you pay a huge sum for a service and the value of that service is low and ROI bad.

          Degree holders out-earn non-degree holders and it’s not really even that close. I am sure you could get better ROI (especially if that is your only measure of success), but it’s a long way from bad.
