Elon Musk: Generally, you want education to be as close to a video game as possible, like a good video game. You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day.
So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling and far easier to do.
You really want to disconnect the whole grade level thing from the subjects and allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject. It seems like a really obvious thing.
Most teaching today is a lot like vaudeville, and as a result, it's just not that compelling. It's like somebody standing up there and lecturing to you, and they've done the same lecture several years in a row. They're not necessarily all that engaged in doing it.
A university education is often unnecessary. That's not to say it's unnecessary for all people, but I think you probably learn about as much in the first two years. Most of it is from your classmates.
For a lot of companies, they do want to see the completion of the degree because they're looking for someone who's going to persevere and see it through to the end. And that's actually what's important to them.
So it really depends on what somebody's goal is. If the goal is to start a company, I would say there's no point in finishing college.
