Information can be a glow in the\u00a0 darkness.<\/strong> Traditional higher education models<\/a> are losing market share to cheaper education delivery systems<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Young people now have the opportunity to learn the very same principles for free<\/a> that are taught to the people they may eventually hire<\/a> to run their businesses.\u00a0 I think this free market trend will eventually overtake the traditional post-secondary education models.\u00a0 I wouldn’t be surprised to find a fully-funded college education available, competitive with some of the best traditional colleges, in the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n

I can see a future where the ultimate end-users of that education (private industry),\u00a0 see the benefit to developing accredited curricula, and offering them to current and potential employees, at a greatly reduced cost (maybe for free).\u00a0 I’m not just talking about an MBA from “Mutual of Omaha University<\/em>“.\u00a0 Think “University of the American Way<\/a><\/em>“, delivering bachelor’s degrees to the masses- graduates might receive checks from the alumni association rather than sending checks to it.<\/p>\n

Education via extension isn’t a new idea.\u00a0 This ACC school <\/a>has been granting degrees, to off-campus students, since the 1940s.\u00a0 Online education is now a pop culture phenomenon<\/a>. If this educational delivery system grows like I think it will, how can the real estate brokerage or mortgage lending communities profit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea that education can get cheaper (moving towards free) and more readily available will be an irreversible trend.\u00a0 No longer can we hide behind the phrase “proprietary information” or “specialized knowledge”.\u00a0 Consumers may educate themselves about how to get a VA condo complex approved<\/a> and find that my “specific knowledge”, while helpful, doesn’t permit me to charge a one point premium to my lesser educated competitors.\u00a0 My specific expertise DOES drastically reduce my marketing costs, allowing me to retain more profit than my competitors.<\/p>\n

Information can be exported inexpensively.<\/strong> Imagine holding a webinar online, explaining the benefits of owning a Costa Rican vacation property, to German pharmaceutical executives.\u00a0 Then, imagine holding a different webinar, to a group of retired Americans in Costa Rica, about investing in mortgages so that those Germans could borrow their money and buy from those properties.\u00a0 Would that add Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
