Comment on Finding ROI in Higher Educationparent

Or you could look at the traditional universities teaching a "whole range of careers" for people who may or may not need most of them as being hugely inefficient.

Maybe a better model is to spend $15,000 on a crash-course for a new career, do that for a while and if you're unhappy with the career choice, pay another $15,000 for another crash-course, and so on.

One issue with this proposal is that I still find $15,000 way too expensive. It may be "much cheaper" than paying $200,000 for a bundle of courses, but it seems no cheaper on a per-course basis. Surely we can have education in the future that's much cheaper than that? We should look for disruption in that as well.
