What in this article demonstrates that you do or don't need a college education to be an entrepreneur (presumably a successful one)? The evidence as provided seems to be, "Most of Peter Thiel's college-abstainers are failing, and the few successes shouldn't really count." I feel like a lot more work needs to be put into this article before it's fit to be published.
What is the central point of this post? From what I could tell, it's roughly a mix of:
- Kids should stay in college
- Peter Thiel is doing a disservice to the college-aged
- Entrepreneurs who go to college are more successful
- Peter Thiel's program isn't as successful at TechStars (because he exclusively selects college abstainers)
- College dropouts earn less (regardless of career choice) than degree holders
Pick one, and then find data that is relevant. Even better, pick a central point and turn it in to a hypothesis. Gather data and test the hypothesis. Write an article about the findings.
I really expect better from PBS.
- randomdata 13y agoWhat is considered a Peter Thiel failure even? Someone coming into a program like HN and not realizing net profits towards millions of dollars would be considered a failure in that circle, but even a profit of $50,000 per year would be enough to see the participants earning more than the average college graduate.
