There's something of a shift toward professional training, but there still seem to be a glut of students entering college without a clear idea of what they're getting out of it or what it will cost them. Pressured to attend by the social expectation that everyone should go to college, the now-foolish guidance many in my generation received of "do what you love," and the ready supply of student loans, students are still throwing themselves into the gaping maw of debt and degrees that are not useful to them in the workforce. (I am very lucky that, for me, "do what you love" ended up meaning the field of computer science). What we need is to break out of this idea that everyone must attend university "or else you'll be a garbageman" or whatever they were telling us in school growing up.
