The Billion Dollar Teacher...
Peter Thiel the billionaire startup founder and investor (Facebook, Paypal...), famous for paying would-be college students $100K to drop out and start their own companies is in the midst of teaching a class on entrepreneurship at Stanford University (CS 183: Startup). On the course, Thiel claims, "If I do my job right, this is the last class you'll ever have to take." Read more here.

Will he make the grade?
"Professor" Thiel's class will end in just over a week, how do you think his students will rate him? Do you think it is hypocritical that someone who espouses an "uncollege" message has joined the higher ed ranks? What would you like to learn from one of the world's most successful entrepreneurs?

If teaching doesn't work-out space exploration is always an option...
