I think that the college system is terribly broken. In my view, college is broken in 3 ways: 1. It is too expensive -- this severely limits talented people from going to college Hopefully, online, free college lectures will go a long way to remedy this situation. 2. Brilliant PhDs are not able to find jobs in their area This is not about money but about the ability to do research and about the ability for these people to contribute in their chosen fields. 3. The Wrong People are going to college People are going to college because they don't know what else to do and because everyone tells them it's what you should do. College should be optional for jobs. Some of the most brilliant engineers that I have worked with are self-taught without a college degree. You don't need college to be educated and you don't need a college degree to make lots of money. College is the entry point to the academic community which should be regularly enriched by the world's best talent. For many people, it is the ritual, the sports, the experience, and the opportunity to explore ideas for the first time that makes college so worthwhile.
