He's Uneducated: Rethinking Our Models of Learning

Laurissa Wolfram:

The more I thought about the comic, though, the more I realized we can actually read it two different ways:

The interviewee is trying desperately to use the appropriate (yet empty) buzzwords that give him the credibility he needs. But to the Boss, it's being translated into a completely different message: I'm a high school drop-out who failed three times at starting my own business. I'm not competent enough to make it through the formal education process, so I just try patch together the skills I need here and there. Instead of going to school, I went online and signed up for a few free courses, and printed off the completion certificates myself.
