Maybe the theater degree will offer the waiter more opportunities for self-fulfillment outside of work.
This is a private benefit, not a public one.
And he won't spit in your food.
So the primary purpose in giving people economically worthless education is to prevent them from committing crimes?
Who said "primary purpose"? I was just trying to address your concerns about the college-educated waiters of the world.
People that are unsatisfied with their lives are more likely to commit crimes. Depending on how much they think they have to lose, they may commit wildly irrational crimes as well.
I consider lower crime rates a public good.
