WHO NEEDS COLLEGE SAYA BILL GATES
For all his success, apparently he's still not a fan of college, though. Despite receiving an honorary degree from Harvard in 2007, Gates' closing speech [video] at the Techonomy 2010 conference delivered criticism of colleges today.
Gates calls college education "increasingly hard to get" and says that "place-based" traditional college studies will be "five times less important than it is today."
He argues, "The self-motivated learner will be on the web. And there will be far less place-based [college] things...College -- except for the parties -- needs to be less place based."
I agree college just preparesd you to work for someone else.
