I could, and did, write a book (http://www.aarongreenspan.com/authoritas.html) about this subject, namely, why the American educational system is broken. I found college to be particularly difficult, but even so, I still think that James Altucher is wrong. Not only is his analysis wrong, but his facts are wrong. Unbelievably expensive though it may be, I know of no college that costs $400,000 over four years. Students are not cleanly divided into "the well-rounded generalists" and "the focused entrepreneurs." There are considerable virtues to liberal arts education, even if Mr. Altucher is too dense and narrow-minded to appreciate them.
