Online education company founder Jamie Beaton says getting into the top universities in the world has opened up enormous opportunities for him.
Jamie Beaton has a suggestion to help Australia plug the great skills gap, meet the mind-boggling challenge of hitting its net zero emissions target by 2050 and create a richer, more innovative economy.
“It’s generally true that if you can get into these schools, it’s going to open up a lot of opportunities.“My mind was blown by all these different opportunities. People can create their own companies, people can work for these awesome investing firms, people can work for these great technology companies.”Beyond the quality of the education and the employment opportunities, there is the ability to make friends with the best and brightest in the world.
But getting into the best international schools is no easy task. Beaton got serious about it at the age of 13. He was already a keen studier, taking extra classes since the age of three, and when he was 13 Beaton struck up a conversation on a train with an older boy, who was dux of his high school and had secured a place at Yale. The seed was planted in Beaton.
