Implosion of "college" in a Technologically Exponential world?!?

In 2030, a 4-year college degree is predicted to cost $200,000+; disruption of the current college infrastructure seems inevitable. I hope to prepare children for a technologically exponential future by sharing tested techniques to improve children's ability to recognize self-potential & build resilience.

Increased amounts of rapid change can feel overwhelming, but so does preparing our children using outdated techniques provided by institutions with skyrocketing costs. I envision "college" becoming a form of immersion learning with personalized, interactive environments based skills not semesters. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Everthing is business in modern world. Education has lost its purpose. It has become a tool of earning for many. Courses are being designed in such a way that they may create a workforce to run big corporation's business smoothly.

Thank you for your input! My hope is that each of us can focus our education on what excites us and how we want to add value to the world.

The number of independent entrepreneurs or “unemployees “ are increasing. By moving toward individual autonomy, we will have increasingly more power … Vote with your money. All the best, Shannon

Thank you doctor. I also would like to say something. Please don't mind.
Everyone, including you, are here to earn something. You gave 0.2 sbd to null for your post promotion and it was a wastage on money. So be careful.
Also you should not upvote your own comment or somebody else's comment because your voting value is not enough to turn your upvote into profit. Hence, you should upvote post of others our your own post because a post has more chance to get further votes which make it profitable.

Thank you so much for your insight! I’m trying to figure out all the ins and outs of this platform 😃

I feel education is evolving... And self learning is setting the pace, the internet having a large role to play in this evolving sector of life. I know the future has a lot to show technologically. And everyone will get roped in, and adapt, wether we want to or not... Its either evolve or dissolve.
