There’s clearly a need to disrupt expensive colleges and some type of pay later arrangement is a good idea, but there’s some difficulties every ed startup will face:
- schools need to be selective to keep the quality of the student body high so they persevere to finish the program and succeed
- getting students hired in a competitive field is a very high bar that is much higher compared to most schools
- software is a difficult field with high frustration and a steep learning curve
Lambda was open to everyone, in a tough field, with a high bar for success. Alternatives might be possible in less competitive fields
