Peter Thiel Would Appreciate Hollywood’s Take on College

1. Good Will Hunting (1997)
“You dropped 150 grand on a fucking education you could have gotten for $1.50 in late charges at the public library.”

2. Tulsa King (2022)
“Do you think anyone really gives a shit about what your major is? English literature, biology, whatever. The whole point of a college degree is to show a potential employer that you showed up someplace, four years in a row, completed a series of tasks reasonably well, and on time. So if he hires you, there’s a semi-decent chance that you’ll show up there every day and not fuck his business up.”
