LIP #202
Jul 16, 2025

The current education system, unchanged since 1750, is facing a major crisis:

📈 Rising Costs, Falling Value:

  • College costs have skyrocketed while graduate employment prospects plummet
  • Over 52% of recent four-year college graduates are underemployed within a year
  • Universities spend money on cosmetic improvements rather than quality education

🤖 AI Disruption:

  • Traditional 'safe' career paths like engineering are being disrupted
  • AI tools show limitations in creativity, only working with existing data

Mismatched Focus:

  • 17 years of formal schooling vs. 51 years of workplace learning
  • System breakdown creates opportunity for real transformation
