How Colleges Betray Students, Part 2

In my last post, I talked about the illusion of choice in regards to education. I’ll be posting a short series of posts about my upcoming speech at the Mises Orlando event this Saturday.

I don’t hate college.

I have to make this disclaimer before someone decides to take parts of my speech out of context.

College has its place in society and I’m not denying that we need people like doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers, scientists, professors, and so forth.

I’d highly recommend staying in college if you truly want to be any of the professions I listed. I would want my doctors to attend medical school instead of learning from the internet.

We must also recognize that college, like anything else, has its limits. People attend for the wrong reasons, usually because they don’t want to be there but they’re doing it for their parents.
