Is there a point to school? 
zaidf: As someone who has been through both sides of this debate, I've realized that school is what you make it. I went into school sure that I won't get much out of it. And that's what happened for the first two years. Then I took a 3 semester break. I returned thinking there is stuff I can learn at school. And I have learned a shit load which I have been able to apply directly to my new startup.It is common for me to run into friends who claim a class is BS. It's hard for me to agree. At the same time, I understand where they are coming from. The class's professor might not be super interesting and he might be just running through slides--but if you went into the class(says its on Sales Management) hoping to learn about Sales Management, you can learn despite the average professor and class.I encourage everyone who thinks school is crap to take some time off and test out your hypothesis. Some will find it to be true and won't return. That's the best case scenario! Vast majority will learn how much they suck at various things and return to school a little humbled and more receptive to the classroom.
