I'm arguing that a traditional higher education is a bad deal and a waste
of time. Short of fixing the whole system, a person faced with obtaining
the knowledge and skills they desire has at least two choices today: the
traditional expensive and inefficient way, or "rolling their own"
non-traditional education via self learning, online learning,
non-degree-oriented classes, certifications, work experience, etc.

Hopefully in the future there will be an easier non-traditional approach.
