Would you like college to be remote too? School? Let's all wake up in our pijamas, hop on a zoom and live most of our lives like that?

For many college is remote. That's the new norm for many.

It was common even before the pandemic. Plenty of colleges offered certain courses or even full degrees remotely.

> Would you like college to be remote too?

I think the university system is pretty hamstrung by the number of students it can accept. A lot of grad programs are coming online (I used to work at 2U which does this) and this is good both for students and the school as more students get an education and the school gets more income. Whether or not I want it to happen (I think it's probably an important part of reforming the university system) it seems like it's happening anyway.

> School?

I think most studies show this is pretty bad, so no.

> Let's all wake up in our pijamas, hop on a zoom

Probably twice a week I get through the whole work day in my PJs and I'm great at my job, so that sounds fine.

> live most of our lives like that?

Nah I'll go to the grocery store in the AM for supplies in my PJs but that's the extent of it.
