Not explicitly but the choice is “stay in your economic class or invest in the only thing reliably proven to improve your future”.

People basically did remain in the economic class though. The school doesn't have much to do with it. Has class mobility significantly increased since the adoption of mass tertiary education?
And those who do not want to deal with the risk of going through school and not getting a better job to pay for the onerous loans can just remain in their economic class.
and why people invested noname colleges with degrees in psychology, english lit, gender studies?

and then act surprised when they get out with zero useful skills
