Completely agree and I think it will happen. At the very least we need an alternative path to get a university level education. My idea of how it will be replaced: All learning will be done online and by independent organizations which could range from small time publishers to even people on youtube creating courses. Students will self-study or use other methods to learn. Each discipline will have its own certification. If you want to display your knowledge of xyz subject then you get that certification and employers will hire people based on their collection of certifications. Employees could build up their certifications as they progress in their career, life-long learning. The entire system will be more or less free-market based but overtime I could see dominant organizations taking most of the market. The strongest will rise to the top. You can already see this happening in high-demand fields like tech where you have these "code camps" springing up and then all the little certifications being offered by google, amazon and so on. My vision is this type of system will become the dominant way to obtain specialized skills. Traditional education will have to compete within this system.
