As a person who taught for over 30 years and got to a point where I had a Master's degree plus well over 60 graduate hours I both feel blessed to have that background and grateful that it led me to a path of teaching. That being said this path may not be suitable for many young people.
I believe it is critical that a school sees to that its students get a well rounded education of the highest quality. This is far more important than touting the fact that 80% or 95% of its students went to college or went into farming or went into the military. All of these career parts are valuable and serve our country well but they aren't the end well of a person receiving a great education.
Part of the strength of our country relies on different people making a difference by living life to it fullest, taking care of those who they care about, earning a living by engaging in something that makes them happy and allows them to make a positive and profound impact.
There's more than one way to get this done and a great public education allows this to take place.
Have a good weekend!
