Not only glib but also a false dichotomy.

Choosing between two careers, say engineering and being a marine zoologist are equivalent in socially attributed worth and both require a similar amount of effort education-wise. Most people wouldn't argue that being an engineer is in an obvious way "better".

Choosing between going to college or not, for most people isn't an equal choice. The vast majority of people view going to college as a better option.
