I graduated about ten years ago and heard plenty of teachers talk about how college isn’t for everyone and lots of kids agreed. We were constantly told stories about people with multiple degrees being unemployed.
I think there is a pre-2008 recession and post-2008 recession line of thinking with this.
Pre-2008, it was "go to college or fail in life"

Also, I moved around a bit and every school system I was in still had a robust shop/industrial arts program and a career center with automotive, electrical, etc. programs available.
It reminds me of when people say “why didn’t we learn about this is school?”. We did, you weren’t paying attention.
