IMO, that's why we're seeing these article. Going to college is/was pushed heavily by teachers/society/counselors as _the only_ way to 'make it'. Add that to the fact that college costs in the US have skyrocketed (thanks to bloated admins) on the backs of government backed loans, an economy that never recovered from the GFC, it's a tinder box waiting to explode. You can't promise people a better life--at great cost-- and then not deliver and expect no blowback.
I regretted college while I was in college, but I was already on a debt treadmill. I am a vocal anti-college (in the US in its current form) advocate. Start a business instead. Fail. Learn.
