That's not entirely fair. According to the UN Human Development Index (HDI), the US is at 21st place, making it only the 31st most undesirable developed country to live in. Better than Slovenia but worse than South Korea. But yeah, from a European perspective it seems like a bit of a shithole to live in.

It was brutal under the Tsar, under communism and after the iron curtain. Maybe Russia just sucks.

Similarly, mandatory education to read, write and do basic math is probably the most financially beneficial education to society but I doubt if most people use this education only for, it even mostly, for work.

I generally agree with you, in that society doesn't really benefit financially from a lot of degrees. I would add though that there are values other than BNP. A lot of my friends have degrees they don't use in their profession. My ex is a good example.
Their master is in feminist sociology and they work with researching and analysing the effects of infrastructure. As far as I can understand it is about things like making sure changes don't impact people's physical and mental health to badly and especially the working class, as this would have an impact on productivity.
But their other degree is in art and, apart from a couple paintings and some pottery i love, they've never sold a piece for any meaningful sum. Their paintings don't hang in galleries but in friends homes and they make us happy.

If you consider education an investment that raises the GDP and the standard of living then it's not only free, it actually pays for most things.

That sums it up alright, but it's phrases like these that get you laid;
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
