According to "Why go to college at all", Dale J.Stephens, the founder of Uncollege says college education doesn't guarantee your success. He argues college education limits our potential possibilities we can develop by learning outside of school but we are just confined to institutional structures. Stephens thinks students learn useless skills divorced from reality inside of the "homogenous bubble". Therefore, he argues self-directed education is the ideal form of education rather than waisting time and money on college education.
However Melissa Harris-Perry refutes his idea in the article "why does college still matter". Melissa says college still plays a significant role of providing economic mobility, growing adaptability, provoking creative mindset. Going to college is beneficial for individuals and societies.
Two articles have opposite perspectives on college education, but they both acknowledge the power of education in despite of its various forms
