What is education today?

A lot of people today say that without education you got nothing. Most people look at getting a degree or multiple degrees because they believe they will be paid more in the end. What happened to looking at education for the sole purpose of learning for yourself? Being a better person? Finding who you are? Some people even make it without going to college and I see it not by chance or luck, or connections, but by determination. Ambition and determination is what is needed, not being judged by grades and GPA. What about those people who cheat all their way through college and beyond in their education, in the end they get the high GPA, and they are praised for it. And people who work hard for their grades who don’t earn what they expect to earn but don’t seem to give up, they just don’t have that high GPA. Wouldn’t employers want the second person to be working for them because they’d see the value that they possess within them and smile and say good job? Others, just get the job because they got connections. I think everybody should be given a chance no matter who they are, who they know, or where they come from. Wouldn’t you want to be that person?
How do we value education? Is it by the payroll in the end or is it by the knowledge that we gain? I see it by the person we find within ourselves. I hear people these days go to school because their parents told them to go, but what about what you want to do?
