I'll put it this way: in the average GRE scores by intended field, education ranks below philosophy & STEM in every subtest, and various forms of education rank very low (early childhood education is, out of 50 groups, second from the bottom in 2 subtests and fifth from the bottom in the last subtest).

Another category that jumped out at me - see all the public/education/business administration near the bottom. These are the people running institutions. The world is the way it is for a reason.
