Is Online Education The Next Vertical To Bust?
With the credit crunch starting to really take it’s tool in the online world is education the next victim? Auto, fiance and travel have all seen dramatic pullbacks in the ad network space so it makes sense that education will start to slow as consumers have less to spend, or does it?
Education is linked to most individuals ability to get a job. That being said, no one really know where the education vertical is headed. If you speak with education advertisers, they are all very bullish on the industry citing the link between education and jobs. That all makes sens, but what about the loans to get the education, loans are hard to come by!
Regardless, there is an interesting article on Forbes.com called, The Coming College Bubble? which is what motivated me to write this post. For sometime I have been concerned with the whole education vertical online – the writing is on the wall to justify the concern. Time will tell.
