More like "higher education is not as beneficial as educators make it out to be".
Not always. If you want to be a mechanic, there's no reason to go to college. If you want to fix computers, same. These jobs are necessary and those who are interested should pursue those avenues.
But to pretend that getting a college degree is not the safest option is ludicrous. If you want to be above the median income level, almost every job you can get requires at least a Bachelor's degree. If you don't know what you want to do, take a couple of years off and try and figure it out. But, odds are, if you want to do something that makes a bit of money, then you're going to have to go to college.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
