<p>Very interesting opinion piece written by Thomas Friedman in today’s NYT. </p>

<p>"How can colleges charge $50,000 a year if my kid can learn it all free from massive open online courses?” </p>

<p>Good question…</p>

<p>How relevant will traditional 4 year colleges be to the students of tomorrow? </p>

<p>Interesting- I do think online will be the future due to pricing themselves out of the market. I think online will rapidly be the majority and mainsteam method with working at the same, time even with 18-22 year olds.</p>
