Beyond College bypassing College: How to give the best world-class education to your children, for free



Beyond College bypassing College


With the message of peace this is Cemendtaur





Higher education has been evolving ever since people settled in communities and interest was taken in understanding the physical world.  For a long time, education remained a luxury afforded by the very rich.  In the second phase, education remained under the influence of religion.  Scientific education, independent inquiry is a newcomer—but it quickly took over.



For the last several decades a four-year college degree provided a strong foundation for a lifetime of employment opportunities.  Colleges have done a good job in preparing students for a productive life.



A good college degree starts with general education in various fields and then ends up in specialized studies in the field of student’s choice.



But ideas, like people have expiration dates.  The time is up for colleges as we know them.



Here is how to proceed in these new times.  Use an online resource such as the Khan Academy for basic education in math, all the way to calculus and develop a broad understanding of social sciences. 



Then couple this knowledge with wisdom provided in TED talks.  Watch the 100 most popular TED talks: on life, on health, on fitness, on finances, on happiness, on psychology, on technology, on personal skills, on motivation, on leadership, etc.  That’s it! 



Enter the workforce wisely and keep learning through the Internet.



All this education is free and taking this route you will end up far ahead of anyone still thinking drowning oneself in loans to study at an expensive university is the best strategy to thrive in the modern world.



This is it for today.  Hope to see you next time.
