Is university education overvalued? Eighteen-year-old Andrew Brackin has received $100,000 to go and live in San Francisco, California, for two years. But there is a catch. During that time, he can't 9o to university or study. Instead, he has to develop his own business, a website that helps charities to raise money.

the

\

The money comes from Peter Thiel, multi-millionaire and co-creator of PayPal. Every yea1 Thiel selects 20 students from thousands of applicants. He only chooses those with the best business ideas. Andrew got through the semi-finaIs, which involved a Skype call, and then f|ew to San Francisco for the final. There, he had to present his ideas to an audience of important business people from Silicon Valley. Thiel is an ex-student himself - he went to the BRlT School in London - and he has strong views on university education. He feels that many youn9 peop|e apply for degree and postgraduate courses without really thinking about what they want to do afterwards. They overestimate the benefits of university education and undervalue the benefits of working in business.
