No, it is educated people with honed talents in all areas. The market is not the only measure of social value.Why?
Government should be aiding what helps society--and that's people in positions for which there is enough demand.
I will say this much: if I wasn't strictly limited in how much education I could have sought, I wouldn't have stopped getting educated.
But, I ran out of funding after getting my degree. I can go no further not because of inability or lack of desire but rather lack of funding.
I think more that people will seek TWO educational goals in general, and their order of precedence is unimportant: people will seek for a degree that will get them paid, and people will seek for a degree that will get them knowledge they seek personally. Currently, the system is set up to best reward ONLY the minimum education required for professional growth ABSENT personal growth.
It is, however, personal interest which drives innovation and good societal order. Personally edifying education should not merely be in the purview of the wealthy
