The study argues that the positive relationship between mental health and higher levels of education is due to confounding factors. The take home message seems to be that higher levels education is not important to mental health.
I think the larger narrative here is that higher education is not as important to success as previously believed. Was someone successful because they went to college, or were they already on a trajectory for success, and they just happened to attend college because they were offered a free ride?

- openasocket 10y agoI think that depends a lot of your definition of success. Are we defining success in terms of general health and wellbeing? In terms of life satisfaction? In terms of wealth?
