What (Not) to Learn in College

08-23-06 · 1 comment

If I’m reading this right, one of Guy Kawasaki’s latest posts explains why you should use your time in college to learn things you can easily learn in the first few months of your working life, instead of spending it absorbing knowledge you will never in your life have another opportunity to learn. I just don’t see it – this is the stuff of self-help books read over lunch; not of post-secondary education.

Hi Rob,
I agree that Guy’s list is perhaps not the to-learn list for students who are struggling to pass, nor for those ones who are dead certain about grad school and will be well equipped with a Ph.D. when she enters the work force.

But for the rest of students who are eager to enter the workforce or start our own ventures right away, these tips for better communications will surely give us a competitive advantages over, say, an equally well educated grad student from Asia.
