re: 1 out of 4 bachelor degrees and nearly half of masters degrees have a negative ROI

If a man with a good work ethic and a good attitude gets a ground level job at whatever field it is, in my scenario he is learning all of that on the job.

That's not possible for the vast majority of people in trades, my friend.

It requires an intelligence level that puts the owner into "college material" status, but likely life caused him to veer off path in life (most likely bad or uneducated/lower class parents, but could also be from an undiagnosed LD).

I've theorized (on the OT version of these muh trades threads) that a major reason why we're seeing a lack of supply of highly skilled people in trades is that this loophole is being closed across the country and these people aren't falling through the cracks nearly as often today. So things like master carpentry doesn't have that replacement population (and the vast majority of guys in the trades lack the mental ability to do this job).
