Mostly nodding along to what the author says so far…… which does make me nervous…. The hypothesis of the book largely matches my observations and understanding of the world around me
I do have my immediate reservations. Since being an international student I deeply acknowledge the social and networking benefits of school. I have read economics paper about social mobility and notwithstanding the networking effect, I recognize I would never be able to meet new people and experiences and grow up to my current self had I stuck to a provincial spot(home). More that come to mind are the role of soft skills that one develops in university…think comporting oneself with others for a group project.
May possibly come back with more thoughts if I finish it!
