There's a lot of discussion here about college choices based off your book. What's your opinion on the Thiel Fellowship over at MIT where Peter Thiel is giving away $200K to a student to leave school and start their own start-up? Do you think it's wise for these students to take an investment in their future at the cost of a potentially valuable education?

Thank you for your response. I actually met Laura Deming who was a recipient of the Thiel Fellowship at the age of 17. She's obviously incredibly mature for her age and brilliant, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. I agree with you entirely on paying more attention to the 50 percentile. Thank you!

Hey Malcolm! I recently just started reading Outliers while attending a music school to major in Music Business/Management. Do you have any favorite bands/artists? Also, what is your personal opinion on the future of the Music Industry? Any tips/advice for me?
