We have to remember though that the idea of the majority going to university is a relatively recent one. With student debt being as large as it is, the question remains whether this ideal is indeed sustainable.

Online education is poised to bridge the unsurmountable financial hurdle that many now face.

I signed up to several courses this week. It really is a fantastic chance to learn new things.

I've already taken a couple of courses and have enrolled on several more for 2013.

Remember, education is not about learning but about credentialing.
