Interesting on several levels. I am among those who think the U.S. higher education bubble is overdue for pricking. Companies accepting alternative accreditation, placing more emphasis on demonstrated skills and life history, and stepping back from mindless credentialism will be part of the solution.

That said, it is interesting that "ability to learn" is the key desired attribute. That is exactly what the traditional liberal arts degree was supposed to nurture. Too many of the colleges have devalued their own product. If the pendulum swings back, good.

I second that emotion.
