>the primary point of education is to make effective economic contributors in your society
I see zero evidence that this is true. This is not the stated nor revealed preference of a significant portion of the population.

- atomicUpdate 3y agoPeople don't spend thousands of dollars and spend years of their lives to get a degree because the process is inherently fun. The reason to go to college is so you can get a good job that pays more than if you stopped at high school. Same thing with getting a high school diploma (though, less so). What more evidence than that do you need?
- actionfromafar 3y agoI think you conflate economic contribution and good job too much. They often don’t overlap much.
- sebzim4500 3y agoFor one thing, a lot of people spend that money and get a degree that will not meaningfully help them in the labour market. I see your point though, I was thinking about school, not university.
