“Work for an education. Get all the training that you can. The world will largely pay you what it thinks you are worth. Paul did not mince words when he wrote to Timothy, “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel” (1 Tim. 5:8).
…Education is the key to economic opportunity. The Lord has laid
a mandate upon us as a people to acquire learning “by study, and also by faith”
(D&C 109:14).
It is likely that you will be a better provider if your mind and hands are
trained to do something worthwhile in the society of which you will become a
part.”

Gordon B. Hinkley, “Living Worthy Of The Girl You Will Someday Marry”, April
