"We're in a BUBBLE & it's Higher Education" - Peter Thiel

Peter Thiel paying people to drop out.

Bankrupt your University before they bankrupt you!

   Tuition fees for universities around the world continue to rise.  And so does the student protests.

Every year groups of students hover around the university with their signs and chant "Reduce Tuition Fees!"  The universities pay lip service by saying they will do whatever they can to keep fees low, but months later increase fees like usual.

Students walk around campus, seeing new buildings rising, but also class sizes rising.  Students see professor salaries increase, but their teaching ability decrease.  The school offers more course selections, but none with real world applications.  If you ask me, this sounds like students are being ponized.  As more students enroll in universities, more money goes to the school, but education quality remains the same. The universities will continue to raise fees as long as students keep showing up.

Students around the world WAKE UP! If you think tuition fees are too high, stop paying & walk out! Universities are a business, like Starbucks.  If you walked into a Starbucks and saw them charging $50 for a cup of coffee, you'll walk the Hell out of there. You wouldn't waste your time standing in front of the Starbucks with a sign saying "Reduce Coffee Prices!", you'll just go to some other coffee shop. And if all the coffee shops charge over $50/cup, you'll drink TEA! So, if all the universities charge high tuition, find alternatives for your education.

A lot universities are charging absurd amounts for tuition, but all students do are useless protests. Put your money where you're mouth is, AND WALK OUT!  If all the students did that the universities will be FORCED to lower fees or go BANKRUPT! It's SIMPLE supply and demand, but they probably didn't teach you that in school...

Do only DUMB people graduate from College?

Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Steve Jobs all dropped out of college. Then they became Billionaires.

People say they were too smart for college. Which then brings me to the question, Do only dumb people graduate from college? That may not be the case, as many intellectual people have graduated from college and pursued successful lives. But to me if you really want to be successful in the REAL world and not the PONZI la la world of Academia, dropping out my be the smartest thing to do. Here's a list of billionaire college dropouts to prove my point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_college_dropout_billionaires

Now with extreme increases in tuition fees and cost of living, going to college seems like a questionable choice. If you are able to get scholarships and grants to fund your student life, then by all means give college a shot. But if going to college means borrowing ten of thousands of dollars that can be used to start a business or TRAVEL the WORLD, then you should start to think twice.

The smartest and richest people in the world have dropped out of college. So, are most people saying they're too dumb for the REAL world by staying in school??
