I want to pass this along because it shows pretty clearly the value proposition FutureLearn and other online course services are offering to potential learners around the world. "The creative economy," they write, "comprises industries that are based on individual skill and creativity, which have the potential to generate income and jobs through the generation of intellectual property." All you need to earn an income in this economy is a computer, an internet connection... and an education.

If you're wondering, that translates into about $7,500. Annually.
