What College Will Not Teach You

James Altucher writes:

The idea is that a college education will fill your memory. Teach you a lot of facts. Maybe teach you basic analysis that conforms with your teacher’s opinions. But will NOT teach you how to really think. Will not teach you how to come up with ideas. How to sell ideas. How to be creative. How to navigate through interesting experiences so you won’t get hurt.
There are a lot of recent college grads sitting around not do anything because they have never learned about the things Altucher is writing about here. A successful life really is about:

Coming up with ideas.

Selling ideas.

Being creative.

Navigating through experiences.

Life is not about listening to a teacher and regurgitating via test a teacher's lecture.

You are failing, if you think a test is going to be passed out any time soon that will advance your life.

Start experiencing life, read the important books on the side and screw government corrupted education.

Remember, the greats like Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard couldn't even get anything close to top positions in universities. Even Hayek, who tended not to ruffle feathers, couldn't get a position in the economics department of the University of Chicago.

College at this point is just another government controlled scam.
