Jim Rogers and Doug Casey on why college is a waste of money 為何上大學是浪費金錢

Doug Casey:
It’s not necessary to go to college. You’re likely to be corrupted, and indebt yourself like an indentured servant for many years to come. The question is: Do you want an education, or do you just want a piece of paper that says you logged the time in a classroom? These are two different things. Getting an education is strictly a matter of motivation and self-discipline, not paying money to sit in a classroom. If you’ve got half a brain, you realize that you want the knowledge, not the diploma, and there’s no necessary correlation between them. Nobody can “give” you an education; it’s something you must gain for yourself. Unless you’re going to learn a trade, like doctoring or lawyering, or you’re going for science, engineering, or math, where you need the formal discipline and where you need lab courses, it’s a total misallocation, even a waste of money to go to college today.

Jim Rogers 羅傑斯:
Part of the problem with not just America and many countries is that they think if you went to Oxford, Cambridge or Ivy League school you must be smart to know what you're doing. But I went to Ivy League and Oxford, they are that dumb and they don't understand the real world. 問題是不僅僅是美國，還有許多國家，大眾都以為如果畢業於牛津，劍橋或常春藤盟校，就聰明過人，也知道在幹什麼。讓我告訴您，其實我讀過常春藤聯盟和牛津，但他們根本就是那麼愚蠢，那些人並不了解現實世界。

Robert Kiyosaki:
From a very young age, I learned that the promise of higher education for success was one of the biggest scams around. That’s why the first Rich Dad Scam identified is higher education. Because I’m outspoken against the school system, I’m often accused of being anti-education. Nothing could be further from the truth. But “go to college” is one of those things people point at as a way of being successful without ever stopping to think if it’s true.

Perhaps that's why Jack Ma got rejected from Harvard 10 times! He is simply TOO SMART.
