If you don't have a degree, your career is most likely capped at a pretty low level. But that's fine for people who's likely endgame was Assistant Manager at Wendy's. You are right that those people being shuffled off to a university, when they would be better off going to community college or a technical school is a giant scam, and that level of debt probably isn't worth it.
But for moderately gifted people+, you get the degree, and you do what Steel Curtain is doing. SC will probably be making 6 figures soon enough. When he's making 100k more a year than Highschool Degree Dan, that bit of debt he carried isn't going to matter.
