I agree. Education is crucial if you want people to reach their potential. But most people value education inasmuch as it will help one get a "good job." Education is about enrichment of the mind. It's not "job training." People are so short-sighted on this. They don't understand that a workforce of enriched minds is exponentially more capable than an army of well-trained machines.
