Don’t Go to College

A must watch and share documentary for any high school students or college students you know via The Dream Lounge. It discusses the underlying reasons for the inflationary costs of college education since the 1970s — gov’t intervention through  student loans and the resulting increase in corporatism in the higher education industry. It’s made by the folks at National Inflation Association which is promoting their stock-picking newsletter and promoting buying of metals. Their stock-picking sounds scammy to me, but the other than that most of the content in this video rings true and did a good job with narrative and the graphics.

Just reinforcing my reasons for being a proponent of unschooling, self-education and non-credentialism.

Another great article and interview related to this topic from Penelope Trunk is “Best Alternative to Grad School.”
