A comment on Peter Thiel's unexpected job requirement. Parent comment
Thiel is, first and foremost, advancing his own interests by enouraging students to drop out and pursue startups in which he will have a stake.
He wants to hide this among otherwise valid criticisms of the system. But he really can't.
Unless he's paying you not to attend, you are foolish not to attend university because of what he says (versus your own reasons).
