For many people, attending college is a gateway to success.
对许多人而言，上大学都是通往成功的大门。
But for 21-year-old Dale Stephens, it's just not the case.
但对于现年21岁的戴尔·斯蒂芬斯来说，情况却并非如此。
Disappointed with college because he felt he was not getting the skills he wanted,

This movement urges learners to focus on the quality of their education and how it meets their individual, educational, and career goals.

It suggests that learners may choose to pursue their education through free online classes,

internships, gap years, or a variety of other ways,
实习，间隔年，或者其他各种方式继续自己的学业，
but the important thing is to cultivate a high-quality knowledge base with huge time and money saved.

The message of UnCollege has never been "don't go to college."

"I'm suggesting that everyone take a good look at their education,

figure out why they are there and what they're doing with it,
弄清楚为什么接受那样的教育，以及准备用那段经历来做什么，
so that they can decide whether or not it makes sense to stay in college or leave school," Dale says.
这样才能更好地决定继续留在大学还是离开学校哪一个更合理，”戴尔说。
