Student Debt

Greg Gottesman gives an impassioned TED Talk about the One Trillion Dollars in student loans. He doesn't offer a solution to those students loaded with debt, but he offers ideas for streamlining those obtaining an education.

My daughter commented that new technologies may eliminate professors. My response was that professors will continue to be the foundation of higher education, but the numbers of professors necessary in higher education will decrease. After all, there is a need for at least one expert in each field to write the courses and to do research. There is also a need for at least one buggy-whip maker. . . .
