Can sole purpose of education be always linked to livelihood?
The important thing here is (as Survivor says) to distinguish between education and training. Learning how to fix a diesel engine is training. A literature course is education. One provides you with a job skill, the other cultivates your mind. It’s not that there is no overlap between the two. There is. A course in economics can open the mind to how world economies function but also train one to function in the business world. An English course can help our reading skills as well as making us think. If you want evidence about how the human race has always valued education, look at the popularity of, say, Shakespeare’s plays 400 years after his lifetime. Certainly there’s not much utility in experiencing this work. It’s food for the mind. Best wishes!
