JOBS THE rIGHT ISN'T COMPLAINING ABOUT LOSING:

Massive, open, online disruption (Zachary Karabell, MAY 17, 2013, Reuters)

The United States has a problem: rapidly rising student debt. It also has a solution: online education. The primary reason for spiraling student debt is the soaring costs of a college education at a physical college. Online education strips away all of those expenses except for the cost of the professor's time and experience. It sounds perfect, an alignment of technology, social need and limited resources. So why do so many people believe that it is a deeply flawed solution?

Because it means massive swaths of higher education is about to change. Technology has disrupted many industries; now it's about to do the same to higher ed.

Efficiency is the enemy of employment in all fields.
