How could students get more from college?

    1. Social > Knowledge

    Who has the best life. Those who are loved by everyone or those who are smart?

    When at college be sure to talk to others. Anyone. You never know when you'll meet someone that will propel your life to new levels. 

    Studying is important. If you don't keep up with your peers will they still want to be around you? There's a balance, but look around and you'll see that social beats knowledge. 

    2. Portfolio > degree

    Even if you get a bad degree if you touch up your portfolio and show that to others their going to be far more impressed. They may even see skills that will get you a better job. A good video can be seen by millions, your paper degree, not so many. You learn in order to create. Show this and you'll be far more successful. 

    3. 80/20 rule

    80 % will get you through. The next 20% will get you a better degree, but it requires a lot more work. Is it worth it? A lot of material is fluff if you learn to disregard it you'll read a lot faster. For example this list. How much is important? Thr I have to titles, the rest expands on them, but is for the most part, fluff. 

    4. Show yourself in your work

    I had an interview for a teaching job. They wanted a draft lesson on graphs. They provided the bookwork and so the majority of teachers teaching this lesson would be the exact same. Instead of being the same as everyone else, I added my own unique touch.

    I noticed that people are really bad at reading data, so I taught causation vs corilation whilst teaching the bookwork. I made reading graphs properly important. When at college add a bit of uniqueness and you'll stand out and be remembered. The more we think about someone the more important they become. Become the most important student.
