Another thing that could be helpful is not forcing kids to go to school when they&#x27;re 18. They have no clue whatsoever what they want to do with their lives and by and large motivation to truly learn something is very much lacking. Or at least I lacked it. My MSc with honors is a feat of willpower more than anything else, I ended up using maybe 10% of the knowledge I acquired in those years. Now if my career started in some kind of an apprenticeship situation, you can bet I&#x27;d have plenty of motivation to master the field. That&#x27;s more or less what happened after college, except it&#x27;s completely backwards from what it should be, and it&#x27;s extremely wasteful: I ended up learning (and then, of course, forgetting) a ton of not even remotely useful stuff in hopes that I&#x27;d need it when I actually have a proper job. Some might say this is well rounded education, but I&#x27;d rather do it by choice, and not arbitrarily. The meta point is, traditional education is really broken, and it has been for decades. It&#x27;s good that someone has the guts to go against the flow and do even a modicum of rethinking. Academic community is extremely clique-y and conservative, so it takes non-trivial courage to pursue something like this.
