Donald Trump supporter and co-founder of paypal (and other things) Peter Thiel is offering a two years $100-thousand USD scholarship to young adults, to stay out of college!
The Thiel Fellowship is supposedly meant to help young adults spend two years getting their head straight about what they really want to do with their life. On CNN Thiel actually called a college diploma a modern day “dunce cap”!
And if you want more reason to stay out of school the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) discovered that unpaid college interns are less likely to find a paid job after graduating because employers do not considered unpaid internships as preparation for a real job! Also, where you go to college also affects your employment chances; only 46% of graduates in the “Far West” find jobs compared to 68% in the north east!
