I'd say one major problem of our education system is actually that so many people believe it's primary focus should be preparing people for the workforce. I remember so many people back in college, and even me back in school thinking "When am I ever going to use this?"

But our education system should be more than that. Schools shouldn't be job factories. The idea that knowledge is only useful if you can profit off of it is a mistake. There's an inherent benefit to knowing something, even if it provides no practical use.

This would unfortunately be a worldview much more compatible in a world where our inherent sense of worth isn't tied to how much value we can create for capitalists
