My main issue with this "Get my Piece of Paper" mentally is it seems that College is more about vanity than education. Which in my opinion it is. People go to College to have a degree not learn. I understand that if you don't go to College in most industries then you won't get a job. But i'm not so convinced that if you want to start a tech startup or work for one that College is the most important thing. Most startup jobs pages are open to College degrees or experience/portfolio. Which UnCollege is vastly about, building experience and learning. I think those which are savvy are able to get opportunities to build experience, even early on when building experience. Such as internships, freelance work, etc. I don't believe College is in any shape a bad choice, but for many it slows their progress (or wastes time) rather than accelerating them on their path. But I see the appeal, it'd be very easy for me to get through those years of College and apply for a job at one of the big names. But i'm happy to face the possible risks. This issue is something i'm contemplating at the moment, as i've experienced education wasting my time and it's not a very enjoyable situation. I know i've still got a lot to learn but would rather do so on my own time.
