Where did you get this idea from. Every chart in the world shows people are more productive after education. And the idea people are happier after education is just plain silly. Of course they are. For one thing an educated mind makes less mistakes in life and so is axiomatically happier e.g. less end up in prison and people are healthier and live longer and I could go on all day long- :>).
Hallelujah!

(That means I agree, nicely said!)
