Although he makes some valid points, it seems a bit foolish to me that a 19 year old, who has barely been in college to just flat out deny it's usefulness. I recently graduated, and though there are a lot of things I would change about college, I don't regret going there. I made great connections, made life long friends, and (most importantly) learned a lot. Most of what I learned was because of my own efforts, however, that seed of curiosity that pushed me to learn was usually thanks to something mentioned in a class, or because of a conversation with a professor, or because of me going the extra mile in my projects, or because of the research I had looked to work on. Overall, I'm not saying that you need college to succeed, and I'm not saying that there isn't alot to criticize about college. However, before you knock it down, try it out. You may not regret it.
