Sometimes people seek higher education not only to compete in the job market but to learn how they can best contribute to the world. I worked for an education nonprofit where our weekly infographic would typically promote higher education as a way to earn more money. I was unsettled by this and spoke about it to the cultural anthropologist on staff. She agreed but said how we were framing it was a quicker way to get the point across that education is valuable. I get it. I just wish that other metrics were also included--as a matter of course.
