What does one need to do to make the U.S. a better place?

1 pointsby college_rulesalmost 10 years ago
I am young, capable, intelligent, and out of money. I spent three years paying for college by running my own business.<p>While learning many skills in the school of hard knocks, my business became insolvent and I no longer want to juggle school and business at the same time. I will graduate with my bachelor’s degree next May in Finance from a state university here in the U.S.<p>From there I want to get my J.D., MBA, Master of Economics, and Master of Engineering.<p>I want to learn it all...and I am completely serious and understand what this undertaking will entail. I feel this inner fire within me that has become a welling, burning thirst for knowledge to change the world.<p>I want to spend 18 hours a day for the next 6 years studying law, business, economics, and the STEM technical fields.<p>After that, I want to spend 100 hours a week in the manner of Mr. Elon Musk, savagely defeating humanity&#x27;s most pressing adversaries. Slavery, war, oppression, poor access to clean water, disease, high energy costs, lack of education, lack of free speech, stable institutions, no internet, etc etc.<p>I do not want to graduate with $250k in debt in the process of educating myself. Is anybody willing to help me financially?<p>I am not egotistical, but an adherent of utilitarianism. I truly believe in the power of one individual to change the world. My first order of business after completing my formal education is creating a university with a completely different paradigm than this overburdened and defunct system we have now.<p>You have heard a little bit of my passion and vision. Please, someone out there help me with this and I will be forever indebted to you.<p>&quot;It seems like we&#x27;ve not been thinking about the right issues for a long time. I actually think it is a big step to just ask the question &#x27;What does one need to do to make the U.S. a better place?&#x27;&quot;<p>- Peter Thiel
