It’s no secret that college doesn’t prepare students for the
real world. Student loan debt recently eclipsed credit card
debt for the first time in history and now tops one trillion
dollars. And the throngs of unemployed graduates chasing the
same jobs makes us wonder whether there’s a better way to
“make it” in today’s marketplace.
There is—and Dale
Stephens is proof of that. In Hacking Your Education,
Stephens speaks to a new culture of “hackademics” who think
college diplomas are antiquated. Stephens shows how he and
dozens of others have hacked their education, and how you
can, too. You don’t need to be a genius or especially
motivated to succeed outside school. The real requirements
are much simpler: curiosity, confidence, and grit.
Hacking Your Education offers valuable advice to
current students as well as those who decided to skip
college. Stephens teaches you to create opportunities for
yourself and design your curriculum—inside or outside the
classroom. Whether your dream is to travel the world, build
a startup, or climb the corporate ladder, Stephens proves
you can do it now, rather than waiting for life to start
after “graduation” day.
