Should I go to college? An answer from a Berkeley professor.

[Jon L]

This is the best answer I've seen on the topic, and has a lot of applications outside of the school realm, too. The entire answer is worth reading, but here's the key point for me:

You can learn a lot in school, but some people can learn faster on their own. Let me repeat one of my favorite clichés: education is not filling a bucket; it is lighting a fire. So it depends. Quitting school can be risky, but for the right person, it is the right bet. For most people the right choice is staying in school. Their buckets can do with more regimented filling. But once the fire is lit, the student can learn much faster outside of school.
--Richard Muller, Prof Physics, UC Berkeley​
