Education isn't like money vs inflation(More Money Printed = Less the worth).
This is somewhat true, but somewhat not. If the amount of people with the education for a specific job surprass the demand of workers = less the worth. There won't be need for that specific education.
(Also look -> however even today people who finish college still end up working at a low end job) <- And this group would grow.
Yes, it is true that we need a lot more qualification for a job nowadays. I agree with that.
"Masses will be educated: Yes
/.../
Imagine your fellow man educated, this would easily bring an end to corruption and many world affairs."
Thing is that education doesn't necessarily make you smarter, so to say. Some people just are hillbillies and even with a college education, it doesn't really raise their natural IQ.
Plus we end up with the same statement I said before. A lot of useless studies. What is the point of masses educated if their major is well.. stupid? Instead of moving on with their lives, getting jobs, building families, they spend years and years for nothing.
I agree with decreasing the cost, enough for smart people to get education for jobs that are needed (not too many though), but nothing making it totally free, because that will produce useless adults to society, either ones who could've moved on with their lives already, or just too many people wanting the same job.
surpass the demand of workers = less the worth.High Skilled Paying Jobs will not decrease in value because there's more competition. It is already like the situation you explained for many jobs. Education is the key that gives people equal opportunity into creating a better life for themselves if they choose to work hard(American Dream).
The point of giving people education isn't to hand them out anything nor promise them a future in that career, it's to give them the same playing field as everyone else(OPPORTUNITY). Again it's not to say hey if you choose to be a Photographer we will pay for your dreams but assure you that you'll be successful. Wrong, it's you have the OPPORTUNITY to pursue whatever career you desire, BUT it's up to you to put in the work and dedication to achieve that which you desire.

Saying Education doesn't make you smarter is like saying eating doesn't make you full. However you have some small truths in that statement. Some people lets say 10% will not fully appreciate that education and blow it off. So yes they will have been free loaders/waste of money and time and they will be where they still are.
HOWEVER, I rather have small fraction of individuals misuse that system and have the majority take advantage of that opportunity and become greater. So in the end, more people would be much more educated compared to the phew that aren't.

Everything else below I disagree. Some studies may be useless to YOU. Art/Photography/Florist/etc, but to them that may be their passion, their gift, their purpose. I rather have someone do something they love rather than play it safe and get an office job.
Success is defined by the individual, not by the amount of money they're making. To some being a Janitor is successful if that means immigrating to the United States, Becoming a Janitor and being able to out your ids through school.
There's nothing as a useless career. Some pay better than others, Yes, some don't, that's okay.
So basically you've said educated adults will be useless to society? So I ask you, what about right now we have adults that are not educated, unemployed, no skills, etc.
And what happens to the most poor? Crime, Gangs, Drugs, Living off of the Government. But that's okay for some people.
Rather than giving those people the opportunity before it develops into that at a young age. Of course some will still fall down but it'll reduce the amount of "No Life's" tremendously.
Now go to bed Ekke.
