It's a very controversial question.I study at one of the 200 best universities in the world. Once upon a time, four years ago, a friend and I decided to study here. And the government pays for me and his education bill. Honestly, I doubt that even the time I spend on this will ever pay off. For the most part, learning is good because there are many peers like you, building social connections that you can then use to advance your career or create a project. If a child before college does not show any ability to something that brings money and has not yet started earning, I think it is worth helping him to choose a very stable profession, with which he will be able to get money even during the crisis and in different parts of the world (Europe, America, Asia, Africa). There is definitely no cryptic currency, they can fall down accidentally, and then, when you are 70-80 years old, your child will not be able to pay part of the bills, because he will work as a dishwasher and barely make ends meet. I'd rather give him a hands-on education in economics, so he can understand both micro and macro economics. Then he will be able to live quite well, in a spacious house and have enough for a vacation in Miami, in winter he will go to Switzerland, skiing, and after work he will not think to "smell" to forget it all, but to enjoy life together with his beautiful wife.
