We’ve also not become a nation of manufacturing. What’s your point, dude?

  The jobs of the future never materialized. Receptionists are doing the same thing they always did. People use more computers now, but literally children can use computers. I’d even argue that our service-oriented economy requires even less education and intellectual horsepower than the manufacturing and construction oriented economy of the past. I strongly suspect our economy would continue to run fine if half the people who go to college now never went (and we banned the practice of requiring college degrees as a threshold filter for people who have their shit minimally together).
