Honestly 80-90% of people in college now shouldn't be in college, most jobs that require a degree could easily be replaced with a much shorter apprenticeship or even just basic training.
As an example, pilots for major airlines are usually required to have a college degree. Which sounds reasonable until you realize that 1) no college degree will qualify you to fly anything 2) they literally don't care whether you get an aeronautics degree summa cum laude from a prestigious university or whether you barely eked out a degree in something like art history from a community college(in fact it's recommended you take something like art history because it's easier). They just want you to have a degree because everyone else has a degree.
In the current year 12 years of schooling is the bare minimum required for stocking shelves part-time, which is frankly insane.
