I don't have enough karma (I guess?) to downvote this but if I could I would. This article is terrible advice as has been pointed out already by many people in this thread but I just wanted to add my two cents. "Academic education", up to undergraduates imo, is not so much about what you actually learn, but about the learning aptitudes and social aptitudes that the experience makes you develop. I think we can all relate. This person seems to make massive generalisations from his (rather lucky I'd imagine) personal experience.
