There has been lots of media about university lately that makes parents wonder whether it is the right choice for their sons and daughters. This article starts by acknowledging the negatives and worries, but read on for a balanced perspective and advice. Some of the recent arguments against university include:
• In the new digital economy, the workforce is changing, work is being replaced by computers; there is more crowdsourced contract work and there are fewer traditional full-time careers.
• There are free alternatives to university such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which some futurists believe are going to replace campuses.
