Hacking Your Education
The more I read about it, the more sure I am that college is the wrong choice for most graduating seniors. Dale dropped out of college after a semester and wrote this book to encourage others who want to pursue alternative routes. Some great advice, and its extremely practical. This $10 book could save you, or whoever you give it to, thousands of dollars. Other books that are in the same vein that I love:
- The Personal MBA – Best there is for business
- The Higher Education Bubble (Encounter Broadsides) – Short, but a good argument from a financial standpoint
- In the Basement of the Ivory Tower: The Truth About College – One of the books that started this movement
- The 4-Hour Workweek – Great advice on learning, finding mentors, and more
- The 4-Hour Chef – Great advice on learning quickly, meta-learning
- Mastery – Great work on apprenticeship
