Define "useful" here. Lot's of people with useful education struggle with paying off their debt. There is something pretty crooked in such attitude.

Objectively, from the statistics, that's just not the case. Average undergraduate student loan debt in public California schools was $23,600 in 2019 [1]. That is less than the price of most new cars.

From what I've seen, it's not something to be brushed off as "not the case".
You're talking from anecdotes, I'm showing you the objective statistics supplied by the state of California. One is going to give a more complete picture than the other.
Still not a reason to brush it off. It's still crooked.
