OK, that's enough . In 2006, I wrote an article for the Financial Times , why I do not send my kids to college is . I wrote more or less the same article to several publications , including AOL , Yahoo, one of my recent books ( I forget which) and the Washington Post wrote an article about my opinion on the subject .

Here is my latest article , why not send your children to college .

I hate to admit it , but I do not really like someone who does not agree with me . I agree 100 % love all my proclamations . When I wake up in the morning , I to open the newspaper and the headline like, " Altucher James was back in order ," and citations in articles such as " Why are we always so stupid Why do not we hear for the first time says James he things ? " Maybe if I go outside , I want people to throw flowers on the street in front of me and beggars and homeless people running towards me and say, " I can not homeless, but I like to think the way . , if possible , can I touch you ? "



But I do not like to be touched when I would be holding my hand , take a pad , write a few words of wisdom, tear the piece of paper from the keyboard and give it to them .

So it bothers me when people on the idea of ​​going to college as his clinging holiest water down from God, come to bless them. Seriously, you can walk around and say, " Jesus never lived , " and people nod and say " ok , there is religious freedom in America and what he said is very good," but when you say that " children should not go to college to go ", as you do not meet the highest , holy , divine is hymen of American religion.

Say it again . Say it loud and proud : "The University is divine hymen of American religion. "

Someone wrote on a Yahoo ( where the elite post their thoughts) forum:

"The government must take away their children . " Please, it would be great for me. Maybe I can see my children in the holidays in their government connections . I heard that within the Department of Commerce , there are many gyms to play in the jungle my children. And there are 3D video games on the walls of the State Department , where future children play Chelsea Clinton is projected. But until then , my children were taken from me by G- Force agents of the government play . when children are old enough , Chelsea Clinton children can babysit . This would help build their Rolodex for later, when they want to work on hedge funds and the famous U.S. Department of State .

Another person wrote :

"Mr. Altucher , who went to a prestigious Ivy League school , now wants to keep all under him , so that he can reap the fruits of their poverty. " Yes, I admit. I need everyone who are less educated than me, so I can feel good about myself . If you do not want to go to the same school as I gurantee its one then you are less intelligent than I am. When I write what I see I do not exist "guarantee" in the sentence before me. I 'm not to correct it first. Because in the next version of the American Dictionary them include " maximum" and that the definition of "see" Warranty " Because that's the way I roll ..

Ok , these are the parasitic disagreements with my article . I do not even have the honor of an official number of how many of these " list " blogs that people hate . But now I 'm a blog list anyway. Who cares ?

10 more reasons parents should not send their children to school

First People say children learn to be socialized in school. Are you kidding me ? I spend $ 100 200k per year , so that my children can learn , make friends with other people their own age ? Let me tell you how to get your kids to college will be socialized and you know it's true:

- Your child should put a penny in a jar every time he or she has in her first year at college sex. After the first year of college , he or she should every time they have sex a penny . You will never empty the jar. Perhaps exaggerated ( it's hard for me to do the math on the numbers , so when I look back on my own experiences in four ) digits . So suppose this is a step in the socialization of our children to college .

- Do the same exercise with the top penny , but replace "sex" with " vomit " . This is part 2 of socialization.

- You can also use the above exercise with pennies ( Give your child a lot of pennies before he said, "Okay , Dad, see you later " when they are in the parking lot at university! . ) , But of " sex" or " vomit , " say," I 'll be there to skip classes of the opposite sex or vomiting . "

Second People say that children learn how to think in school. This argument has been told by Kathryn Schulz , author of " error " , a good friend and author of an excellent book . But she knows better than anyone that no matter how much you think you "think" you're going to be wrong most of the time . And by the way , is it really costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn how to think ?

I would say that college a way to avoid learning how to think. If I want to learn to play tennis, the best thing to do is play on a tennis court and tennis. If I want to learn to drive a car, I would be better behind the wheel and start driving . If I have to learn to live and think, then the best thing to do is to start to think about my life and my thoughts , instead of paying my parents nor my life and my teacher told me my thoughts. See below to see how I learned to "think . "

In a related blog post , I will also write , " how can people learn to think. "

3rd Statistics say that college graduates earn more money than non- graduates. Obviously someone who says that it failed " Statistics 101" in school. We were able to correlation , but we do not know cause and effect here . As our generation (post - baby boom ) basically everyone goes to college with the exception of people who have absolutely high school, then it certainly makes sense that people make more money mind that people who are not performance-based.

A statistical study better that no one has done is taken, 2,000 people were admitted to Harvard 20 years ago , and in a thousand chance it does not force to go to college . Then , look for 20 years who makes more money. My guess is that that would not go to Harvard in 1000 has made ​​more money . They were to learn from the nest, flying thrown much earlier and a five-year projection would have made huge difference ( I say 5 years , because that is the average time to complete is to college. 4 Not as many think ) .

4th One person said : Not all of it in money. More specifically, a brilliant commentator on one of my posts : "I would say that the overwhelming majority of people do not go to college as an investment , you are doing it because they want to explore career opportunities in a simple environment to do this because of it. . a particular career they want to be (unfortunately weekend hackers often doctors) do it because they drink and party on the weekend want. doing this, because the purpose of life is not the money . "

I'm angry for the first time on this post , if not all, of this blog since its inception. What kind of a stupid statement. If it is not as a financial investment , why the cost of college increased by 1000% in the same time his health has to rise up to 700% and inflation at 300% ? It is a financial investment because university presidents , most of the children , believing that they can not get a job , have ripped without college. So they drive up prices to know children need to pay otherwise suffer the perceived opportunity cost of not going to college .

In addition, the commenter above said " the purpose of life is not the money . " I thank him for that. Otherwise, I went through life thinking that the point of the whole life making money. I think what he really meant this statement is that the ideal for children , books on philosophy, literature , art, history , etc., to read in an environment that promotes discussion between peers and experts . This is what is really great for college.



5th My experience. I consider myself an educated person so let me tell you my own experience :

College itself was issued :

meet and have fun with the girls for the first time in my life. I am glad that the banks loaned me enough money to do so. And luckily have extreme failure and shame in this field does not affect me at all later in life.
Learning from alcohol and drugs occasionally for the first time in my life
I have a huge amount of computer courses. Nothing has helped me in my first real non-academic employment. When in fact , I was so wrong with the computer, after both the first Cornell degree in computer science and graduate studies at the Carnegie Mellon University computer that my first non-academic work ( HBO) would send me two months of training aT & T, I could learn a thing or two about how computers were used in the real world. My first task is to obtain an HBO computer was , they gave me " the internet. " I ended up freezing the computer so badly that she had to take and I also wiped all email . On this computer I thought they were going to shoot me, but instead they banned me for two months. The only way to get fired on HBO, I was told it was available on your boss's desk and pee on them.
I borrowed every penny of my college education. I took classes every summer ( they were cheaper and faster at the time) , and I took six courses per semester. I graduated still without about 30 - 40k in loans . It took 10 years ( and the sale of a business ) , but I paid every cent of my loan.
In addition to my classes, I worked about 40 hours a week at work , when I could afford my expenses . My parents did not pay a penny of my expenses except maybe my first semester of college . And my studies, I got a scholarship and stipend.
Just as I am educated in the areas of reading , philosophy, history , art, etc. was all on my own time . After high school I have a relatively simple programming job on campus. I spent hours every day reading books , then at least an hour or two a day to go to the campus library and critical reading of the books I had just finished .

It was all my liberal arts education . And it was all free, and has served me well since . And I was actually paid while I did it.

If you can not read a book without giving on a college campus and the payment of $ 100 200k per year for the honor , then you probably should not read books anyway. Or at least wait until you learn the value of a dollar before this extreme load .

6th Parents are deceived. If you are a parent and you want to send your kids to college , and then briefly summarize , here is what you pay:

Their children to have sex 1-5 times a day with people who you probably would not approve .
Drink their children, smoking weed , probably try to LSD and other drugs before you get home
Your children will cheat on most tests . When I started college, I wanted to be a psychologist. I read all the books on psychology. In Psych 101 , I got a D on my first review , which was evaluated on a curve. Apparently had the 2,000 other children in the class access to older reviews that were ever saved the brotherhoods and the teacher never changed tests . I finally had to give up when Psych major. My father said : " . . Why do you want to major in psychology want anyway , the girls will not like you because you do not make money as a psychologist ," I said, " but I'll never know if girls like me money or not ? "And he said," The girls will not be because you are the kind of guy who can make a lot of money because you have money you love you " ..
Your children will be connections with other like-minded people ( people on drugs, socialism , sex 24 hours a day (not a bad thing ) , people cheating on exams and people with gravity make rich parents to help your children to get a job Goldman Sachs ) are .
Your kids will think they are smarter than you almost immediately.
while you work 60 hours a week and to borrow money to send your kids to college, your children sleep right pieces of the day , relax on the weekend and enjoy the pleasures of life blessed lazy for another four years until the real world hits .
7.Alternatives . Just published my article on alternatives to university See

And by the way , I know my title says " 10 Reasons " and I listed "7". I have not learned to count in school. But maybe you can help me fill three other reasons in the comments. I had a good time at school. And even if I worked hard , I managed to enjoy away from home and enjoyed the beautiful nature around Ithaca. I graduated a year ago, so I can save on course fees. At the beginning I had to keep complete at least a 3.0 average. Unfortunately, the last day of class , I realized that I did not complete a heading and in 2999 ​​the situation. I had to go to my teacher Fortran ( blech! ) and ask him to get me a D + and C - . Fortunately, it did. And I have my degree
