Couldn't have said it better
Coincidently, I was watching this today.
I agree with a lot with that is being said here. And I will add, it is not a US problem, or an European problem. It is a world problem. I have attended schools in Brazil, France, the US. Have tried the IB system, American system, the Brazilian, the International system and had friends in the German, French and Italian systems. IT IS A WORLD PROBLEM.
I think we wait too long for kids to decide what area they want to focus on. For example, let's take an entrepreneur which wants to go the academic route before diving into the market. He will go on to do high school with people that want VASTLY different things from him and that don't care (and probably don't need as much): financial planning, stock market, etc. THEN, he goes on to college to do Business. AGAIN, a very general degree full of people that want to be Investment Bankers, Consultants, Accountants, etc. ONLY when he has reached a master's level, will he able to FINALLY "study" entrepreneurship. I think if you show a predisposition to learn entrepreneurship, you should be able to take the route. Instead of having Chemistry in school, I could've had programming. Instead of English literature, Microeconomics. We lose so much time (years) in nonsensical stuff.
