“Used as filter for employment” is a terrible burden to bear, but some institution has to do it. I don’t think college gets enough credit for bearing that burden while surviving and fulfilling its original purpose at all. Saying “college is a disaster, we should gate employment by (eg, written tests or billionaire hand picks or high school grades)” sounds to me like “Frodo is an emo mess while Sam is practical and thoughtful. Things would go better if we gave the ring to Sam”
