Average tuition for a year at a US private college is $35k. Nobody should pay that. Offering $140k for 1 year of regular time with any one of the best minds in your field of choice would be a strictly better use of your resources (and probably theirs, if they'd otherwise teach).

I see this idea that one on one time could somehow replace the college experience. This makes no sense to me. Part of what you are paying for is the network you create. The friends you make. The new ideas you are exposed to. One person cannot replace that.
Yeah, same for me. My college experience was actually not much less of a social lobotomy than my high school experience, but I didn’t realize that until I dropped out & took a really interesting research job in NYC

I understand what you did can work for some people (it would have worked for me) but don’t understand how it scales.

It doesn’t. Trade schools & bootcamps are scalable. Drop occupational licensing where it doesn’t directly protect public safety. In general, create a more competitive business environment — companies that prioritize the proxies for merit over actual merit will not do well.

As one data point I have an interesting job programming and we have literally nothing that an entry level person could do at a level that would exceed the productivity cost of one of our developers attention.
