This is a popular gripe during the current political discussions about college debt but I think it drastically undersells the benefits of college degrees that are non-STEM and drastically overestimates the quality of life for people who get trade certifications. You'd think with the popularity of 'antiwork' attitudes, people would notice that few people are inherently motivated to snake out clogged toilets. It's not for everyone. Look though the HR depts. of FAANGs and you'll find a lot of people with humanities degrees who are making good incomes. It's not the dead end field that's often suggested.
