  > I mean: If you're talented enough to get into Harvard, maybe you don't need a Harvard education to succeed in life (for various definitions of "succeed"). Exactly what I think. Of course, there's the contacts, but that's overrated (and you can get them in a couple of other ways) You just need to consider how many Harvard successful alumni are actually Harvard dropouts. There's an important value in education, but I think the value of formal education (especially in traditional ways) is diminishing.
