Peter Thiel interview - the un-scholarship (starts at 1:35 of podcast) (podcast.cbc.ca)

I'd actually love to apply for a fellowship, but I turned 20 a couple of months ago. That makes me ineligible. :(

.. might as well give it a try anyway I guess.

The interviewer may just be playing devil's advocate, but he's doing a good job sounding like a "oh golly, dropping out of school is the worst thing that could ever happen!" kind of person. A little grating.

I hope to set my 3 year old son up for success and help him see all his options.
