Giveaway: An Exclusive Screening Of CNBCs Peter Thiel 20 Under 20 Documentary Next Week
When Peter Thiel identified the next bubble as one in higher education, it ignited a bit of controversy here on TechCrunch.He told TechCrunch last year, "A true bubble is when something is overvalued and intensely believed. Education may be the only thing people still believe in in the United States. To question education is really dangerous. It is the absolute taboo. Its like telling the world theres no Santa Claus.He backed up his beliefs with a provocative fellowship program meant to lure teenagers to drop out of college. Called 20 Under 20, a select handful of brilliant, ambitious young people get $100,000 to ideally move to the San Francisco Bay Area to work on whatever they want for two years. They are including the youngest person to have ever created nuclear fusion, teens that are working on medical imaging, mobile apps and solutions to alleviate global poverty and inequality.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/6W54gn4lXLY/
