Human capital manifests statistically as employment. It’s not a complete measure of labour but it is very convenient for measuring the natural value of a degree.


Sure, but that is stretched over a lifetime of work. If you just measure current wealth you won't see it.


Debt can also be stretched over a lifetime of work, so I’m not sure how you’d avoid factoring debt into this.

Anyway, entering into an investment fully knowing that you can’t expect any quantifiable return seems like a terrible thing to teach children.
