Seth Godin ranted about the problems with college textbooks, but isn’t the problem bigger than the books? Aren’t we really looking at a 4-year time and money drain?
I think, for many students, a better solution is to invest in them the way incubators like Y Combinator invest in entrepreneurs. I’ll show you my reasoning in this post, but I’d like to hear what you think.

Is College really a waste of time!!
What’s wrong with the College system.
It creates corporate drones Students today leave school with so much debt that they lose their independence and become pawns of whatever company pays them enough to help make payments on their debt.
What it teaches is out of date by the time students graduate When I was in college, learning about the internet meant understanding how to search using Archie and how to browse using gopher. Archie and gopher were dead technologies the minute I graduated. That’s the problem with a 4-years school system that operates in a world that changes every 4 months.
