Exactly what I was thinking. For a digital elite, it seems this new wave of avoiding college will be breeding increasingly narrow and specialist elites, shallow but for one deep focus. The statement in the article about "learning critical reasoning by thinking about product features" sounded like a joke, and frankly, the companies getting this smart, cheap labor [sic] seem to be the most to benefit, not the careers of these youths nor society as a whole. What it does to stifle creativity and innovation (where social-local-deals is exactly a symptom of stifled creativity) in the long term remains to be seen, because at least for me my biggest breakthroughs have come from being in contact with wildly different disciplines.
