This is the commodification of education in a nutshell.
We treat degrees that don't award high-paying jobs as a disease worth stomping out. We see this already with people demonizing those who choose to go into the soft sciences or more art-inclined degrees. This isn't to say that there aren't degrees that are a scam, but rather that we need to be careful if we solely value education for how valuable the careers are, rather than valuing education and the societal benefits it grants.
