When I went back to school as a 30 year-old 2 years ago, I was going for one main reason: to have a bunch of deadlines imposed on me.
That is the problem I have with the alternate suggestions in the OP article, especially as suggested to a young adult (16-22 or whatever): without imposed deadlines, one has overwhelming odds against them in the area of self-motivation. Do you have any idea how little one can achieve in a year? Write 5 novels? Learn to do stand-up comedy in a year?
The author strikes me as someone who has never tried most of these things.
