Description:

Expert Panel - The Death And Rebirth Of Modern Education: 85% of college graduates last year got jobs that don’t require a degree, and the country has racked up more student loans than credit card debt. Education is the way a culture invests in its future, but just like in the world of finance, our investment vehicle is severely broken. Most experts agree the system will crumble under its own weight, but what will emerge to fill our human need to strive and better ourselves? Engage in a dialog with Jennifer Russell and Bryan Franklin - cutting edge transformational educators, Danielle Strachman - director of Peter Thiel's "20 under 20" program, and other experts who answer the question, “What and how do we need to learn to be successful in a free world?”
