PayPal founder is paying college kids to drop out
Peter Thiel believes higher education is the next bubble to burst. So, he launched an endowment that pays college students younger than 20 to ditch school and start working.

Twenty-four people have been selected to participate in this program. Recipients receive $100,000 and will work on diverse projects in areas ranging from biomedicine to computers and robotics.
