CNBC:

There are over 4,000 colleges and universities in the United States, but Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen says that half are bound for bankruptcy in the next few decades.

Christensen is known for coining the theory of disruptive innovation in his 1997 book, "The Innovator's Dilemma." Since then, he has applied his theory of disruption to a wide range of industries, including education.

In his recent book, "The Innovative University," Christensen and co-author Henry Eyring analyze the future of traditional universities, and conclude that online education will become a more cost-effective way for students to receive an education, effectively undermining the business models of traditional institutions and running them out of business.

What percentage of their graduates will be bankrupt?

    Lake Corangamite is about 1 hour drive from where I live. Except it's a hypersaline endorheic lake [wikipedia.org] - the mud there literally reeks and the fish .. wikipedia say there should be some but I doubt it.

    For the Emerald Lake (actually Lake Treganowan - the other one is a water reservoir - deep, former tree trunks still standing on the bottom after flooding the valey) - I guess I could.
    But it's about 4 hours drive from where I live, need to cross the city to get to the other side.
    Unless I plan to spend the night somewhere there, it becomes a 8 hours driving experience. Winter time, that's the entire daylight time you have during the day.

    There are places that offers organized recreational fishing in ponds they populated with trout (small fish-farming operations), but... naah... can't say I enjoy fishing enough to do it winter time.

    Man, I hate me some cold too but there's a lot to be said for either having the morning entirely to yourself or having the company of a very few other crazy bastards who likely have some quite interesting lies to tell. Bundle up good enough and take plenty of coffee and it's quite pleasant and relaxing. Actually catching anything is just kind of a bonus.
