The value of secondary education has been diluted by the massive pool of "paper" floating around. There is quite the oversupply of "educated" (papered) individuals. The value of a secondary education has been diminished because of this oversupply. We've seen it in the tech scene: A good bit of companies equally value experience vs education (and some value experience more!) - and why not, the goal is to leverage labor for profit - in the case of tech; to create more utility. Unfortunately, we've done a disservice to ourselves: Instead of teaching others how to think, we've taught them what to think. Most graduates coming out of the ivory tower of education lack the ability to bootstrap their own intellectual development. Historically, universities served a purpose: the higher-level of information and application could only be consumed through them (gatekeepers). We are in a new era of information. Information is abundant. We'd be better off as a society if we focused on the "how to think" than the "what to think".
