I agree it's not where the diploma is from, it's how you use talents.

I think massive open online courses are going to change the world of higher education. Now anyone with drive and and an Internet connection can learn just about anything taught in college that doesn't require hands on training, and even for hands on stuff all the basic coursework and prep work can be done online. I like online courses because if you don't get something you can play the difficult parts over and over again.
Georgia Tech + At&T are developing an online master in CS for 7K total. Wharton has all their first year MBA course online for free and you can pay $49 for a certificate of completion. Our kids have some friends in brick and mortar classes with hundreds of students in a lecture hall. I can't see MOOC being inferior to that model.
Google is now hiring more non-graduates, because they have looked at the data and decided things like GPAs and transcripts are basically worthless -
