Jon has insight to life experience that one could never get from college. He has seen the world and been educated in a way that most college-goers will never have the opportunity to learn. There are things he could give the students that textbooks never could. I went to college for 7 years and most of that "knowledge" is pretty useless. All it did was get me qualified for a specialized job. It didn't teach me about life and the world.
