Education > Happiness ??? - Ed Schlesinger
Seems like education leads to a greater ability to earn more money. Now, does that translate into happiness ??? MMMmmmm !! Don't think so however, tough to be happy if you are weighed down by poverty.
I'd love to see a study about how education (perhaps leading to increased awareness and communication/collaboration) leads to a more fulfilling life.

I think education will lead to happiness because you will gain knowledge of the things you need to know and the things you want to know

Hm, there is not much of a difference between Bachelor and Master income. But as Yann mentioned, it would be great to know at least the sample size.
