How practical does an education need to be?

 I seem to be reading and hearing people say that - "Education, in our current economic funk, needs to be practical. What you study needs to be able to get you employed!", This seems to be becoming a popular theme Thus, If you aren't able to be employed, these people will maintain, then your education was a waste of time and money.

 I think education should be both mind and soul expanding. It should let you appreciate possibilities and not find yourself trapped and embedded in the immediate. It should teach you the value of education as being significant and valuable in and of itself!

So, I know people love to laugh at the person with a PHD in Physics who winds up being hired as a janitor. Yet, Is education for any GIVEN moment or is it for sustaining a quality of  life that one can be proud of within no matter what!
