Smart first half, lacking and slow in the second.

A waste of anyone's time who could actually be a successful entrepreneur. You've got better things to spend your time doing. Further, it's ultra conventional; don't expect an enlightened perspective on business. Read something inspiring like ReWork instead.

Exploding college prices and a flagging global economy, combined with the derring-do of a few intrepid innovators, have created a dynamic climate for a total rethinking of an industry that has remained virtually unchanged for a hundred years. In The End of College, Kevin Carey, an education researcher and writer, draws on years of in-depth reporting and cutting-edge research to paint a vivid and surprising portrait of the future of education.

The book's main points are certainly interesting, but as with so many books like this, the author was compelled by publishing industry customs to make the book bulky enough to feel like it's worth what they charge for it, when in reality, it could have been a 40 page book and lost no fidelity.
Also, the narrator sounds like a late night infomercial pitch man. It's not the worst narration I've ever heard, but it does sound so much like a sales pitch that it makes you even more skeptical of the author's thesis.
Lastly, the author certainly does a lot of authoritative prognosticating with what sounds to me like not much more substantiation than a well-educated hunch about what the future will look like, especially towards the end where he starts dispensing advice.
