I'm not sure we're even close to "too late", but it's hard to ignore the fact that, like the health industry, the educational system (and I don't limit that to the U.S.) is broken. Millions of young people are entering a system that just isn't built to handle the diversity of learning styles -- or the speed of innovation. Peter Thiel is right: Higher education is in a bubble. I'm not sure dropping/stopping out is the always the best answer, but the point remains.
