Education is a future investment?

random asked:


I beg to differ on the above statement. Education is cost. It is an opportunity cost to start with and in many cases ends up as a sunk cost. It is perhaps the biggest chunk of cost in one’s life and I woudn’t be surprised with decrease in population with above relevation. Such cliche should not be allowed as it gives false nature of education. Today, educational institutions and schools are becoming (if not already) businesses running on students’ pockets with a label of above cliche and this should be banned. Investment comes with returns and dividends and education does not provide it today. It is perhaps a badly bubbled up sector and population should be educated of this fact.
