Ok. I have a confession to make.
This might make me unpopular.
But I believe going to a “traditional college” is still important and relevant.

My reasons: 1) there’s a joy in meeting people and forming lifelong bonds hard to replicate outside this experience. 2) structured learning is still helpful and meaningful. Grades do demonstrate credibility, determination, smarts, etc
3) like any shift in responsibility/life, there’s maturing that happens that’s valuable. 4) networking and “brand” are still valuable. 5) doors that colleges are open for careers services are real.
Can you start a successful startup without any college education? Sure, of course. Is the worthiness for college outside of elite schools declining. Absolutely. But one of my favorite Chris rock quotes...
“You can drive a car with your feet if you want to, that doesn’t make it a good f**kin idea!” (This best sums up how I feel about the college is dead rhetoric).
