I admit that last phrase was a bit over the top. But, I do believe that long term industrial education will slowly die out. Probably a lot slower than I think. There's nothing that special about my thinking really.
Google, Facebook, Apple, Intel, etc all hire the best. I don't know THAT much about their hiring policy or practice, but there are people just by sheer numbers (on either side of spectra) who are more than qualified.
In fact you can go to college and get stuff done. It's one of the best ways to go because you can use loans and scholarships to fund yourself getting stuff done. It's the degree so much that I don't care about. And to be really honest, it's probably easier to get stuff done in the right college setting than it is to get it done almost anywhere else in the world.
All I'm really saying is that I have a strong preference for self learners and people who have done more than get a degree.

Am I missing something?
