The Internet will save higher education, but it may kill your alma mater.

The Internet is the first technology since the printing press which could lower the cost of a great education and, in doing so, make that cost-benefit analysis much easier for most students. It could allow American schools to service twice as many students as they do now, and in ways that are both effective and cost-effective.

After graduation, I took a job with Manufacturers Hanover Trust in software development. I don't think I was there more than a month.
