I think online, low-cost education will supplant courses taught with low or no instructor-to-student interaction in a very short window of time.
Less obviously, I think that mentors (teachers and professors at all levels) who provide value to individual learners will stay in high demand, along with the institutions that employ them. I also think that the personal networks of these mentors will become the gateway to top-level employment in many fields.
