I completely agree with all of this. (Although, anyone who still pays money for their textbooks is frankly stupid. If you're living under a rock and don't understand how the internet works, ask someone for help.) The evidence that we're turning the corner is there. Certain few industries hire based on skill rather than degree. That's the future. The future is learning what you need to as you need it, from free or very cheap online resources (some of which already exist). Obviously, many people, starting with the millionaires who sit on the board of directors of basically every major university in America, do not like this one bit -- but until they cut costs they will lose this battle inevitably.
