The recent boom in online courses....
The recent boom in online learning benefits non-traditional middle aged career minded people as well as the economy in general. Higher education organizations are fighting over dollars for certifications, professional development, and job training that can be accomplished by working individuals. In Gene Maeroff’s column The Online Learning Boom he notes that “Some of the shrewdest, profit-oriented education entrepreneurs have, in the best tradition of commerce, coalesced around these career-oriented, professional-based courses tied most tightly to the needs of employers.” (http://www.highereducation.org/crosstalk/ct0203/voices0203-online.shtml) This highly mobile workforce transfers jobs and dollars based on needs and critical shortages. Workers are no longer stuck in a dead end job with no future.
