HACKING YOUR EDUCATION

In this guide for young entrepreneurial professionals who will not settle for the status quo, the creator of the UnCollege.org project shows a new generation how to hack the university educational system and make it work for them.

It’s no secret that college isn’t preparing its graduates for the “real world.” Hacking Your Education speaks to a new culture of “hackademics” who think resumes are passé and college diplomas are antiquated. Hackademics abandon society’s linear path to success and bend institutions to fit their reality.
The rules are quickly changing, and this is a handbook for the new order, packed with practical tips to succeed. Stephens helps readers thrive in a modern global economy by preparing them with the skills that schools aren’t teaching but are requisite for success in the real world.

With his website UnCollege.org, Dale J. Stephens has become the leader of the UnCollege movement, and is changing the notion that going to college is the only path to success. A regular blogger for Fast Company, he speaks about education and entrepreneurship to audiences worldwide, and lives in San Francisco, California.
