Beat the Education System

Flaw is the most fundamental attribute of any manmade system. While some systems may work more effectively than others, they are all doomed to have inefficiencies, major or minor. The human education system, American or otherwise, is no exception. It is not organized by Divine Providence, and it cannot be expected to function without any imperfections. The key then, is to identify its weaknesses and to capitalize on them, just like a simple headshot in a video game.

Weakness number one: modern education is organized to give the masses too many choices. As ambitious individuals, we seek education to improve our understanding of life, its problems, and its solutions. However, we must resist the temptation to spread our commitments into too many fields. In the end, we will perform many missions, but we can never perform two missions in a truly simultaneous fashion. Our human brain is wired to focus on one thing at a time, so we must discipline ourselves to go after our one goal at a time.

Why College Is the Best Route to Apprenticeships

Industry and business in the Middle Ages was dominated by a system of specialized craft guilds. A master craftsman would take on a young apprentice in a mutually-agreed upon contract where the apprentice would get formal training in a craft, as well as food and lodging, in exchange for helping the master craftsman with his business. Eventually, the apprentice would become their own master craftsman and pass on their knowledge and skill to future apprentices.

Today, the apprenticeship system has evolved, but the foundations are still the same. By becoming an apprentice with a company that can provide the environment and situations necessary for a complete training, the apprentice gets the best 'hands-on' work experience there is. But while one can pursue work as an apprentice on their own, there are certain definite advantages to enrolling in a college with an attached apprenticeship program.

Considering Length and Price Issues When Choosing Textbooks

Textbooks can be really expensive. Each year, buying required reference materials become a heavy burden to the pockets especially of students with financial limitations.

Most of the time, those businesses do not like to raise prices but there are factors beyond their control that can never be undermined and ignored.
