I can't say that I agree with every suggestion Stephens makes in this book. Cold calling influential people you don't know to ask them to get you into a conference that has already started, for example, is a strategy that ought to be handled carefully, if it isn't just an outright really bad idea. But what I really like about Stephens's short book is how it reveals the absurdity of blindly handing your education over to institutions that may not be capable of preparing you for your particular career and life path, even if you'e lucky enough to find a school that is actually interested in preparing you for life. Stephens's path--which involved dropping out of school at age twelve, and again dropping out of college--is not for everyone, but all young people should be as strategic in planning their own education. Even if this means (gasp!) passing on college. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
It's no secret that college doesn't prepare students for the real world. Student loan debt recently eclipsed credit card debt for the first time in history and now tops one trillion dollars. And the throngs of unemployed graduates chasing the same jobs makes us wonder whether there's a better way to 'make it' in today's marketplace. There is-and Dale Stephens is proof of that. In Hacking Your Education, Stephens speaks to a new culture of 'hackademics' who think college diplomas are antiquated. Stephens shows how he and dozens of others have hacked their education, and how you can, too. You don't need to be a genius or especially motivated to succeed outside school. The real requirements are much simpler: curiosity, confidence, and grit. Hacking Your Education offers valuable advice to current students as well as those who decided to skip college. Stephens teaches you to create opportunities for yourself and design your curriculum-inside or outside the classroom. Whether your dream is to travel the world, build a start-up, or climb the corporate ladder, Stephens proves you can do it now, rather than waiting for life to start after 'graduation' day.
