I don't see that happening. Instead, what I see is a massive influx of part-time students. Those who can see opportunities open ahead of them, but companies that realize they need people who know what they're doing in those positions of higher responsibility. Thus heavy corporate scholorship and training budgets (no doubt leading to the corporate boards starting to lean on government for "free university" so that the taxpayers (ie, the students) have to pay for the education themselves instead of demanding it as part of contract) and an increasing reliance on education while working. How you accomplish this under the traditional university model, I don't know.
