You make it sound like all possible paths suck. To an individual decision maker, just do whichever path sucks the least. If college is getting less and less likely to be a path to prosperity, I wouldn't be too upset. College is already saturated, and to the degree it is oversaturated it is largely oriented around signalling value more than actually delivering value. The less people that go, the better.
