We are in a capitalist system that optimizes around financial gain. Our educational system has traditionally not had the same goals. Its not hugely surprising that it is not the best vehicle for creating perfect financial goal achieving cogs. Apprenticeships, Bootcamps, online training, etc. are way better for a vocation oriented education. You lose the well rounded, empathic, and critical thinking gains that a traditional college education rewards, but we don't seem to really care about those qualities anymore anyway.
