It would be an important study now since a university education does not necessarily lead to a job and our unemployment rate is so high. Does it work outside of the job factor? In what way does it work and keep people alive with possibility, a quality of life and a sense of what the philosophers call "happiness", which is very much a part of what education should have been about, that sense of a life well lived? It is a huge area and I understand it is not as easy to quantify or to qualify as economic research geniuses such as Dr. Larkin.
