It's pretty obvious you're not a subscriber to higher ed.

I think the idea that everyone should go to college is probably not
valid.
There are plenty of people with liberal arts degrees who never learned
anything helpful in finding a job, yet they are saddled with a
$100,000 student loan that may end up costing them $200,000 or more by
the time they pay it off..
My biggest complaint with the American education establishment is the
degree of vertical integration. There is very little contact with the
real world. The system is dominated by generations of people who went
to school when they were 6 and never left.

College is certainly not for everyone but who's making a living
outside of professional life?

Sales still has good opportunities but if Americans don't have
disposable income the field is limited.

Blue collar work is being shipped overseas.

Service work doesn't pay unless you're the business owner.

My wife is making 60 running the maintenance dept at golf course/HOA
and that is righteous bucks for a girl in SW Florida. Her boss the GM
is making over 100.
There are still people making good money building big houses. The
little houses are stuck in the mud but if you are up in 7 figures they
are still moving around here.
