Summary

This quote suggests that education serves two purposes: one is practical and focused on equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to secure employment and earn a living.

It implies that a complete education encompasses not only acquiring professional competence but also cultivating the ability to navigate personal and societal challenges, build relationships, and find purpose beyond material success.
