This is a very interesting idea, I hope more states and university try out different approaches. I got my first degree in 1978 and I did it by "working my way through school" which I think is no longer possible for most students, unfortunately. I wish there was a way of promoting that approach, I honestly think that I grew and learned in many ways through the combination of working and going to school. It is very sad that young people today cannot work and go to school and end up with a good education and a job at the end the way I did. I applaud the innovativeness of Oregon, but I do not think it is the best approach.
