Thiel fellow: College is a waste of time
Thiel Foundation winner Dale Stephens, 19, tells CNN why he thinks college is a waste and has become an entrepreneur under Thiel's $100,000 fellowship:
I left college two months ago because it rewards conformity rather than independence, competition rather than collaboration, regurgitation rather than learning and theory rather than application. Our creativity, innovation and curiosity are schooled out of us.
Sounds like he took the wrong classes.
