God has enrolled Jacob on a full scholarship to Laban’s character university. He wants to deepen his character to prepare him for the next chapter of his life. This was not a 4 year bachelor's in science program or a two-year master’s degree, but a 20-year heart-wrenching test that exposed Jacob’s flaws and refined him to become an honest man, a weighty man who would lead the charge for the 12 tribes of Israel.
