What’s the purpose of an education?
I ask this because it’s central to the topic. Is it to get a job or is it just to learn? If it’s the former, then we can have an ROI conversation, but if it’s the later then ROI doesn’t really apply.
FWIW, I worked in higher education for over 10 years, and I can assure you that universities don’t think it’s their mission to train students for the workplace.
