Our modern day school system is an institution designed as a tool of the elite as a method of furthering their control over the population. The idea that more school leads to success is only logical within the corporate capitalist structure we live in today.
Let's look at the TV show, Are you smarter then a fifth grader? The concept of that show tells you all you need to know. The vast majority of what is taught in school is unnecessary for everyday living for low income jobs and high income jobs alike.
School instead is designed to produce conformity in the population, separate people into easily managed castes, and to ensure that people always look outside themselves for their motivation.
The basis of economics is that we have a free market in which there are lots of small suppliers and lots of small demanders, so that monopolies don't corrupt the efficiency of the market. It would only be logical to assume that we would have a vested interest in producing entrepeneurs. That is not the case. We produce people who are "ready" to go into the job market which could also be read as the proletariot or those who don't own the means of production.
Higher education certainly has its values, but it won't be the primary force in people in being successful at fulfilling their life purpose. More specifically, it is designed to hinder people in their attempts at fulfilling their life purposes, because people shouldn't be doing whatever their heart wants, they should be working at their job.
