"No one knows what actually happens in college or why it’s supposed to make you more successful."

I stopped reading after this line.

Anybody who takes what FEE says for more than a grain of salt, is in fact, 'religious'. When you understand that they are a libertarian think-tank, you would see the obvious bias against social infrastructure and would rather have our education system collapse than have smart, well educated citizens.

"Break out the champagne, and get busy doing real stuff in the real world. Don’t live your life by averages and aggregate data that reflect little more than the superstitions of the day."

Not everyone can be a successful drop out like Bill Gates

The problem is with FEE, that as think tanks go, there isn't much thinking, and just a lot of trope repetition. They make AEI seem like RAND.
