🏫 Why Our Education System Is Broken
The Education System Hasn't Changed Since 1750
Yep, you read that right. The school system was created by the King of Prussia almost 300 years ago, and it still looks pretty much the same today.
Here's a surprising fact: school lasts about 17 years, but then you spend 51 more years learning on the job. That's 3x longer!
What's going wrong right now:
- College costs are skyrocketing, but money isn't going to better teachers
- Over 52% of graduates end up underemployed
- AI is replacing jobs that used to feel "safe," like coding
The good news? When a system completely breaks down, that's when real change finally happens. We're just getting started.
