导语：

感谢大家订阅皮埃罗·斯加鲁菲（Piero Scaruffi）的钛媒体72问.知识专栏《硅谷的秘密》。我是今天的提问者赵何娟。你很难想象，当我们讨论教育对硅谷的作用和意义时，在硅谷有一个著名的投资人是反教育者，他就是彼得·蒂尔。对此，皮埃罗又会怎么看呢，如果不理解彼得·蒂尔这样教育无用论这种奇葩观点存在，也就可能很难理解教育体系本身是如何在硅谷发挥作用的，并不像我们想象的那么简单。再补充彼得·蒂尔的一些介绍背景，他就是前段时间在中国特别红火的创业圣经《从零到一》的作者，也是最早paypal的两个联合创始人之一，是Facebook的早期天使投资人，接下来我们就来看一看皮埃罗对彼得·蒂尔教育无用论的一些看法。

正文：

Yes, peter feel the education article, people were saying that you are wasting money if you get PhD. Many people think that it's not useful. I think the facts prove the opposite that all these great research places rely on high education. But maybe you should talk to Peter, the other reason education is important is the connections you make university, especially if you are going to places like Standford. Because some of your friends will also have an idea. You are stimulated by all the ideas around you. It's very important, 

有文章认为教育浪费钱，很多人认为教育没有用。但事实相反，所有的研究实验都需要那些受过高等教育的人才完成。或者你需要跟彼得·蒂尔讨论一下他的观点。教育重要的另一个原因在于在接受教育的过程中，会认识很多的人，比如说你在斯坦福读书或者工作，你的同事或者同学有一些很好的想法，让你受到启发。所以，教育很重要。

导读：

那么当我问还有其他硅谷名人宣扬教育无用论时，皮埃罗说，就他知道的没有了。也就是说只有彼得·蒂尔这一个知名的投资人在硅谷时比较突出持有这个观点的。  

I think Peter is the only famous one. Then just people always mention Steve Jobs and the Google founders, these people didn't get education. But you should ask the Google founders, I never heard them say education is useless. Just in their case it didn't help so much, but Peter is the only one famous who spoke against education in current thinking that.

我觉得好像只有彼得·蒂尔是唯一认为教育不重要的名人了。很多人经常会说乔布斯和Google的两个创始人都没有完成大学教育，但我觉得你们应该去问一下Google的创始人究竟是怎么看待教育的。我们从没有听他们本人说过教育无用论。

导读：

但是就我所知，彼得蒂尔设立了一个基金鼓励大学生辍学，这是在推崇一种在工作中学习的理念吗？

He is not my favorite person so I don't buy or like his books. I think I will the people was just lucky so I don't like a lot of things he says and that I’m not the right person to comment. I just have very different ideas.

彼得·蒂尔并不是我最喜欢的人所以，我也没有很喜欢他的书，所以我不想评论他。我觉得他只是一个运气好的人。我不喜欢很多他说的话和做的事情，所以我不是一个想要评论他的人，我和他的想法截然不同。

All the evidence is in the other direction that we desperately need the more education desperately and the big problem we always had this problem but this is just getting bigger is that the jobs change. Society changes, jobs change and you have to train all your life. And I tell people what you are studying today we probably be useless in five years for now. And five years from now you will have a job today doesn't exist so if you don't have a n education it's really difficult to keep training yourself when you get education in very important to get education that will allow you to change in your life. 

我并不认为他的话有依据，几乎所有的证据都显示我们非常需要教育。我们共同面临的问题是现在的社会变化很快，职业岗位也在发生变化。所以你需要不断地学习，应对现在社会的发展。我告诉年轻人，你们现在学习的内容五年之后可能就没用了。五年之后，你所从事的工作可能现在还没有诞生。所以如果你没有接受过教育的话，你也很难去训练自己。我的观点是，如果你能够接受教育，你就可以训练自己，改变自己的生活。

That's why all is insist mathematics that's a foundation for so many things. Of course if you just want to clean the rooms of a hotel, you don't need education that job will probably exist for a long time. It's difficult to build a robot that can clean this room if that's your job you want you don't need education. But if you want a job in that technology, not only you need an education today but you need in education for the rest of your life.

其中数学又是很多学科的基础。当然了，如果你是想要在酒店里面当清洁工，你也不需要接受太多的教育。但种工作也可能会被机器人取代。如果你只是想去当清洁工，你确实不需要接受教育，只需要培训。如果你想要从事技术行业，你必须接受教育而且还要终身学习。
