Voted for Much more important than it is today.
It feels to me that higher education, while it can be a bit painstaking to afford, plays a significant role in the proliferation of workforce and opportunity creation moving forward. That may be because I myself am a student, yet it feels significant. Qualifications remain important, almost timelessly.
Thanks for answering. I have always found education rewarding on a deeply personal level. But the emphasis between workforce and education troubles me. I think capability is the most important ― the only real ― qualification. Education is one way to pursue capability. But it is not exclusive. And not certain.
