I think the new paradigm for higher education (college) is going to be small projects and companies.

The college system today is dead, they just don't know it yet. So, what if, instead of paying tuition to a school more interested in a failing athletics program, you just pay Calle to be an apprentice (if you want to be a software engineer). After 4 years of literately "paying your dues" you will probably know more than a CS degree at CalTech.

This would force companies to reconfigure into the education space but I think it's doable and the chances a student wants to leave after full vestment? Almost 0% unless they just suck and it's the company that says, "Hey. You're done."

This is the way education used to be not more than 100 - 200 years ago. We need to bring this back.

The real world is built on human networks.

Traditionally these have been limited by geography but that need not be the case any more with the internet and Bitcoin.

I’d love to see Bitcoiners start doing their own student exchanges like how powerful families used to send their eldest sons to the Kings court - that was partially to keep an eye on them and have leverage over them which we don’t need, but the child also got a proper education from the brightest people of the time.

And similarly I’d rather have kids apprenticed to good Bitcoiners to learn real skills after they get a proper grounding in solid education. This post I saw recently on Xitter was really interesting on this idea

I've been saying something along these lines for a while.

make apprenticeship great again

YES. Zap failed for some reason.

Give it another try. Alby wallet has been mean to me for carrying a larger than normal balance but I transferred some sats out just now.

That did it.
