Ofcourse it is , thats why im educated too :D
yea for me getting educated was for desired jobs anf stuff like being practical with your knowlege but.. honestly my primary intention for studies was to gain knowledge..
basically stuff u what to spend your life doing... but its not a waste if you don't get desired jobs there are small industries that require individuals that honestly have the skill set solely.. which is dope
at the end of the day taking your own steps along the way and being satisfied with it is what matters... and ofc being morally active as well and free too... ig true freedom is really when you are at ease with the steps you take regardless of what the society may say.. or trends may depict..
