The value of education is a monetary as well as a philosophical topic. Minors are required by law to attend school until they reach the age of 16 or 18, depending on where they live. So, theoretically, after a learner graduates from high school, the academic requirement ends. Education is never squandered. Any opportunity to learn and improve should be celebrated and taken advantage of. Working independently, responsibly, and collaboratively is a lifelong skill. Being able to admire others for how they live or work is a skill that everyone should acquire. Perhaps the true worth of education is not in the job earned, but in the person that emerges.
