Get a job - Joel on Software is a good proposal to get a more skill based way of accessing job candidats instead of which university they were going to.

Who my dear sir, is the imposter? How does formal education stop you from learning? The last time i checked higher education was an option

It's about truth in advertising. Universities are really great at advertising themselves.
Just because the label says 'education' doesn't mean that you actually get one.

Good connections may get you a job, but it wont save you or your rep if you are crap at your job.

For most jobs you just don't learn the skills you need to be good at university.
Getting a job through connections and learning the skills you need for the job through a commitment to personal development and help from other people is a way many people archieved wealth.

Gold hasn't much inherent value.
It's only valuable when it's expensive.
