Foreign. This is Nira Ehal, and I am here with my buddy Andrew Warner, and he is going to be answering the question of the day, which I'm going to pose to him, which is Peter Thiel's favorite question, which is question is what is something that you know to be true that most people would disagree with you on? So you probably know who Andrew Warner is, but if you don't, let me just refresh your memory. He's the founder of Mixergy, which is an absolutely incredible website about entrepreneurship. Over 1300 interviews. I'll let Andrew take it away.
So I really wish I hadn't gone to college. I spent tons of my own money on it because I didn't get any financial aid and I learned nothing. And I frankly think that most people who went there just partied and learned very little.
There you go. The unconventional truth is that college may not be worth it from Andrew Warner. Now, I'm going to put up Andrew Warner's Snapchat QR code here in a second.
