I thought it was an interesting video with a very powerful message. In the wake of all of the student debt, standardized testing, skyrocketing "ADHD" prescriptions, higher standards, etc, we need to start challenging the existing beliefs of education. Since I started my college career, I never felt as I was gaining much of anything--more or less, I have felt like the "zombie" portrayed in the video. I have learned much more from mentors, this forum, MJ's book, and other books that are directly related to what I WANT to learn.
In my opinion, this community and its forum members already have a leg up on the future generations. The people that set off to learn on their own and hold an entrepreneur mindset are not afraid to live true to themselves. They are always looking to improve existing paradigms. While college is necessary for some, I believe if you are miserable and would rather follow your dreams, you should go with your gut. You only live once.
Entrepreneurs aren't afraid to get $%&* done, no matter what their circumstances or education... this is an interesting (yet frustrating) time to be living in. Here is to our future as entrepreneurs! :cheers:
