Who invented college?
And why?
The history of universities dates back to 1000 AD when Cambridge, Oxford, and Paris University were created.
It was meant to be a place to think bigger and expand thinking and ideas.
The trend to receive higher education picked up speed after WWII when the economy exploded with new industries and corporations.
But are we in the same situation today?
Is college the right path?
Should I go to college?
It is one of the biggest decisions of life as it sets your life path financially and professionally.
With the rise of technology in the last 40 years, we have witnessed numerous radical changes in how we communicate and learn. We have seen a disruption in the job market with many jobs going obsolete and new professions emerging.
Despite all these changes, our education system has not kept pace with the shift.
And invariably, this lack of reform has made university education dispensable.
While higher education is right for some people, I can confidently say that it isn’t necessarily for everyone.
What are your thoughts?
