It should be a main goal of any kind of schooling. There's plenty of research that suggests that people are happier and less anxious when they earn a certain base level of income and are not scratching from paycheck to paycheck. An education that blocks off 75% of the possibility for her doing this isn't a successful education.

D has shared her frustration at living paycheck to paycheck. I can't imagine she wants that for her daughter.

Later, when one has to work 2-3 poorly paid jobs just to make the rent, would seem to be a much harder time to address it.

Thankfully she and her family still have time to address it now.
