{"ops":[{"insert":"I think the idea we're centralizing around is the mentors wouldn't be giving charity, they would be getting mentorship from people more senior than them. The challenge certainly gets to be how do you incentivize the top rungs of the ladder, but it's an easier problem than incentivizing the entire ladder.

{"ops":[{"insert":"\"I got little out of college and would have done much better in an apprenticeship of sorts.\"\ninteresting perspective.\ni had a similar experience in college, but was able to carefully craft my coursework to lean towards project-based work instead of a testing-based format. for example, i had a graduate time series course in statistics where 40% of the grade was the final project, and all work during the semester was focused on supplying the tools/methods for succeeding on that final project, often in the form of mini-projects.\ni think the apprenticeship format is underutilized, and is an area where technology can be effective for matchmaking, increasing use of apprenticeships.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Good to understand how much traction they have and how much funding they have. We’re always looking for the “Goldilock’s Zone” in terms of competition - not too many, not too few. On one hand, few competitors with little momentum is a red flag. On the other, two or more well-funded competitors with credible founders, traction and momentum will be hard to catch.\n"}]}

comment Eric Niehaus commented in #College 2.0 • 1 day ago

{"ops":[{"insert":"I'm weary of models that depend on the charity of others but perhaps there's a way to financially incentivize the mentor, ie if there's a program that lends the apprentices to companies and as part of that agreement the company must provide a mentor. That then provides material incentive for the mentor to be good.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I ran a couple of education companies for a while where college students would go abroad for a month to (a) rotate law firms to learn about the law, or (b) do a consulting internship. I've thought than an extrapolated version of that, perhaps combined with a staffing agency's model of \"find, validate, loan talent out to orgs for a fee\" might work as a viable alternative to high-performing college students. Personally, I got little out of college and would have done much better in an apprenticeship of sorts. Not to mention I could have come out plus $40-50k (no debt + profit from 2-4 year program). Then as it gets traction for the initial target market of high-performers and the market gets used to it, you expand your target audience to lower-performing people and different occupation types.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Im guessing car payments, rent and mortgage are 2 of the biggest expenses that come directly out of peoples bank accounts every month. I get why they cant be paid via credit card in a traditional sense, but in a world where Visa and Mastercard are more open to innovation, what if a company came together to qualify people and charge them nothing to pay via a credit card / cash card somehow that would earn them rewards. The company would need to take a spread of the transaction fee and the loan provider would need to agree to a small transaction fee, which they could technically pass on to the customer in disguise. The customer would likely not care as much if they are getting lots of rewards making it worth it..\n"}]}

many datasets on college ROI here. key findings: This report estimates return on investment (ROI) — the increase in lifetime earnings minus the costs of college — for nearly 30,000 bachelor’s degrees. For students who graduate on time, the median bachelor’s degree has a net ROI of $306,000. But some degrees are worth millions of dollars, while others have no net financial value at all. After accounting for the risk of dropping out, ROI for the median bachelor’s degree drops to $129,000. Over a quarter of programs have negative ROI. Four in five engineering programs have ROI above $500,000, but the same is true for just 1% of psychology programs. Elite schools such as Caltech and Penn dominate the list of highest ROI programs. But attending an elite school is not a golden ticket; some Ivy League degrees have negative ROI.
