Personally I do not agree that the financial success
is the ultimate goal of getting an education.
If it were true, and if people pursue higher education
solely for financial success, this country of South Korea (South Korea, for example,) should have been full of
millionaires because about 90 percent of teenagers enroll in high schools and
more than 70 percent of Koreans have bachelor(‘s)
degrees. Unfortunately, the reality is the opposite in most of the educated.
The answer about (to) the philosophical
question of educational (on the) goal (of education) will vary depending on what you desire
and where you place the value of priority (prioritize).
There are some people who are longing for becoming
(to be) an artist, designer, or poet.
They primarily put their value on aesthetic development and want to be educated
based on it; moreover, they pursue working beyond material affluence after
completing their studying. Regardless of their income, they want to continue to
satisfy their desires for the value on aesthetics (‘art’ is preferred), not money.
In addition, there are other people who want to become
a politician or leader. Their primary reasons to get an education
is not to succeed financially, but to generally achieve broad approval from the
rest of (the) society. Instead of learning how
to make money, they choose to study on politics or leadership.
Their subsequent wealth may be a result derived
from (of) the fantastic coincidence of their
ideal and reality, (This statement is vague) not
because they went (on) after an education
to succeed financially.
In short, neither educational institutions nor average people will think that the primary reason to provide education or get an education is to succeed financially. There are merely more opportunities
