I don't think he goes far enough. Looking back, my university experience was indeed sort of a waste of time. However, the time I spent in college was orders of magnitude better than the previous four years of high school.

Ok, I just closely read the piece instead of just skimming it. I do think college can be a waste of time for many people. However, the suggestion to instead outsource Facebook/MySpace application development to India is ridiculous. Also, what college costs $400,000? Ivy League tops out at about $40K/yr. UC Berkeley is about $9K per year.
