This is spot on. School was frustrating for me. Too many hours invested in exchange for an inadequate amount of real-world applicable knowledge. That plus the actual cost of an education in addition to the opportunity cost of time that could be spent doing something else? Incredibly inefficient.
As soon as I started working, the ratio of hours invested versus knowledge gained became much for more encouraging. Hands on experience with practitioners providing guidance accelerated my progress significantly. Plus, I made money and could support myself while rapidly learning something new. This is exactly the approach we are taking with the franchise gyms.
