There are certainly thing people can do in tech all by themselves. We have 14 year olds making apps and selling them through app stores. All the knowledge required is available online. No old guy approval required. If that's the case, we should see more people doing this sort of thing than working in industries controlled by biased gatekeepers? Do we? Or is it the case that our educational system is crippling the aspirations of our children before they are even old enough to make an app?
