I think it speaks to $100-200K debt loads without commensurate job prospects.

That must be addressed, Chris, agreed. But foregoing higher education entirely will ensure our demise. Higher education is a broad concept to me and means skills and education beyond high school. Other nations have already blown by us on higher ed.

I'm with you, but I think we need to change perception of juco and colleges need fewer Harry Potter courses, which dilute the college brand.

At some point we all need realize, college isn’t for everyone or every profession. There is nothing wrong with having a career and not going to college.

That’s a huge shame. Making America dumber is not a goal any American should be proud of.

That is not accurate. May be out of context. Most innovation occur from experience within the field, not the university setting. Large projects are developed by universities, but usually with professor supervision. Ingenuity occur in the field far more than we know.
