(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Yesterday's blogger, Hope, is glad she didn't pay the price to get a college degree. She doesn't stand alone in her opinion. She's part of a trend that includes some big names and big companies.
Tim Cook (Apple CEO) agrees. Only about half of all employees of Apple in 2018 had four-year degrees. And of course, the company's famous founder Steve Jobs never got one.
A list of other companies that don't require them from their workers includes Google, IBM, Bank of America, and more.
"Exceptional ability" is not proved with a degree according to Elon Musk. He says college is more for having fun than for learning. He likes to ask applicants this question: what problems have you solved?
Peter Thiel believes higher education is both corrupt and overpriced: "There's been an incredible escalation in price without corresponding improvements in the product, and yet people still believe that college is just something that you have to do. Whenever something is overvalued and intensely believed, that's a sign of a bubble."
