Anyway, from my own experience I can say that only 20% of my education
happened in college :) . So, if one can manage the 20%
himself/herself, college is not essential for a successful life. I
think the web will make this possible.
That is quite the wrong attitude to take.
Well, it's 0% for Steve Jobs.
I think for Bill Gates too. But for every Jobs or Gates, there are
many million drop outs who now probably are selling burgers at the
nearest fast food joint or operating the nearest petrop pump.
Not everyone is capable of becoming a business tycoon. A large
percentage still needs to work 9-5 Monday to Friday. For that, an
education is mandatory.
