Open Forum: Higher
Education - Investment or
Waste?
Benjamin Franklin once said, "An investment in
knowledge pays the best interest." Yet today, the
US has a trillion dollar student loan bubble and the
graduate unemployment rate has reached 14%.
With over 285,000 university graduates working at
minimum wage in the US, many students are faced
with buyer's remorse. Is it time to reconsider
whether a college degree is worth the investment?
- What is the impact of Massive Open Online
Courses on traditional higher education?

than their parents? What are the implications?
