This was an interesting read, and it's clear the author has done a hefty amount of research on the topic. The statistics he lays out are mind-boggling! It has definitely given me a new perspective on the subject. While I found Craig's writing style a little dry\not very engaging, I was still mostly interested in the book. Overall, this was an interesting read and helps you get some perspective on the whole "going-to-college" subject. And these statistics have given me some ammo for when people tell me I'll have an unsuccessful life because I currently don't plan to go to college. :P

A lot of examples/ base of information guiding reader using tech as an example through out the book. Gives some information about different ways one can go into university and not. He gives alternatives in learning. Has a few good points in it - way it is written not be for everyone.

Upper education is in massive need of reform and Craig presents a coherent, compelling argument for how to achieve that. An interesting, thought-provoking read.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Craig clearly lays out the case for updating our higher education system and offering more alternatives for career and technical training. With student loan debt increasing every year, this book gives practical ideas for other paths.

The only thing that didn't work for me is that each chapter begins with one of the author's college memories. While these are entertaining and often hilarious, his attempts to use them as a segue into that chapter's topic don't really work.

The author presented evidence of how postsecondary education has not evolved in decades despite society and technology evolving. Not only does he lay out the facts about this, but he offers alternatives to the traditional college.
