Degreed - The better way to track education

How I see it, the standard college degree is becoming outdated. They have been distributed for longer than we have known. With the evolution in MOOCs, we have seen colleges offer their courses for free to anyone who wishes to take them. Coursera and Udacity, for example, offer classes, but the only way to tell if you have completed them is through a certificate of completion.

The way I see it, education is one of the last things to change with the way technology is going. It makes sense: it's a fragile subject to mess with. However, there is not a better time to change the way you apply for a career. With the way we interact with friends, watch movies, shop, and listen to music all being fully implemented into the web, education is next in line for its turn.

Some people have asked "isn't it right that we also send my job to the web too?" No! What needs to be examined is efficiency and what is best for our daily needs. When you work a job, it is best to be in an environment with your collages surrounding you. In terms of education, that payment for room and board amongst the payment for tuition is what makes student loan debt the largest source of debt in the United States.

The way I see it, this is the next step.

I have nothing to do with these guys, I just think that they hit the nail on the head in terms of the next direction in education.
