I think there are multiple legitimate purposes of education, and the ridiculous expense and inefficiency of the system (a relatively recent phenomenon linked to federal aid money) is orthogonal to those purposes.
I think the higher education system in the US is sold as an institution of both career preparation and personal development, that the evidence suggests that it does a poor job of both, and that both are in high demand, for very good reasons.

Yes, exactly. And not only do we need new alternatives, we need *distinct* alternatives for pursuing these distinct goals.

I think Austen's point — and I think he's right — is that students *largely* justify the incredible expense of schooling with the expectation of solid career prep, and that there's a sort of bait-and-switch happening with the "it's not about jobs!" message
