I buy into Thiel's ideas on higher education. I created a startup out of high school. It failed and I went to college the next year. However, the startup taught me more than I have learned in my first two years of school. Many of my CS classes are simply a rehashing of what I already know. In my experience, Thiel is mostly right. It is possible, easy, and cheap to educate yourself and turn it into startup. The problem is it requires a great deal of luck and savvy to turn the college-less path into a sustainable model.
