I have friends who did not go the college degree route and it is very grim.

But perhaps a cheap(er) school, almost by definition not quite as competitive, could still be better than "no college degree whatsoever".
I was thinking more along the lines of "does schooling have to be awful" than "should you go to school." I apologize for being unclear.
The majority of Americans do not have degrees but do have jobs that are necessary for society, which isn’t to say that they pay well.
