$100,000 for a College Education That Fails You

Gary North - July 06, 2021

From 2011.

James Altucher has written a great article on the 10 things he did not learn in college, but should have. I wish 4 million college-bound high school seniors would read it every year. (Over half never graduate.)

I have been writing about this for over 30 years. It’s nice to see a few people who have caught on.

It starts in public school kindergarten.

Altucher offers this list of things he never learned in college:

1. How to Program

2. How to Be Betrayed

3. Self-Sabotage

4. Dinner Parties

5. Networking

6. Politics

7. Failure

8. Sales

9. Negotiation

10. Happiness

All are good thing to know about. These are crucial: #5, #8, and #10.
