A few posts ago I mentioned how the Mises Institute invited me to speak at their Orlando event at the University of Central Florida. I’m hyped for this event because it’ll be my first time publicly speaking! Naturally, I’m a bit nervous but I see it as a good sign, it means I care.
This week, I’ll give you a very brief, super short preview of the topics I’ll cover in my speech.
The illusion of education choices
High school graduates are pushed into believing that they only have two career choices in life; earn a degree or flip burgers for the rest of your life.
But what happens when some students don’t thrive in a college environment? Should they continue to force themselves into a mold, into something they’re not? College is not for everyone especially those who see more value gained by working with their hands.
Colleges have betrayed students into thinking that their career and life depends on a piece of paper and other related credentials like internships.
Is it not authoritarian and un-libertarian to trap our fellow man and leave him without choices?
