We should start a movement of colleges students recording all their courses on zoom so we can post it all in a google drive and give higher education to people

    The value in college isn't the actual material, it's the credential. Anyone with time, a library card and internet access could access all of the material already

      Goes farther than that. It's about the community - similarly aged and educated young people looking to study the same material in between getting shitfaced and boning. Also, professors and lecturers are nice to have - both from a "I've taught a hundred kids like you this same material before, so I've got an actionaable lession plan" and a "Yeah, I know a guy at Exxon and I can set you up with an interview" perspective. Even the credentialing is incidential relative to the networking. Alumni chains get you face-to-face with HR departments and hiring managers. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a senior manager with an Texas A&M diploma on the wall just happen to fill his department up with other A&M grads.

      College is more than just reading theory.
