Unfortunately the whole K-12 education system and higher education system has been optimized for wage-earning jobs and not the pursuit of educational goals. This is how it has been for the past many decades. I wish it was otherwise but it's not. Higher education is a business in itself. And the whole system has optimized for goals that we might not agree with, but this is how it is.
