ideally it would let anyone study what they want for free and go start up a business with their skills but realistically people will sing up for classes and then just get wasted everyday

yeah this seems more ideal for adult learners, second degrees, etc. Like, say I want to learn the basics of finance -- it doesn't make sense for me, already in a career and with a family, to have to take a rigid schedule of classes that I have to go somewhere else to, but I could probably commit to a few nights a week of study at home.

I have to wonder if employers see these types of education credentials as real or not. Like that Yahoo CEO
