but college graduates end up being better off than non college graduates in almost every single metric, no matter the degree.

But yes, if you go to some liberal arts College and rack up 200k in debt for a genders studies degree you are an idiot.
I think there are more of these kids out there than you think.
And it's not just expensive liberal arts colleges. Friend of ours ran up 30K of debt to graduate in 6 years with a general studies degree from Northwestern State University. She's never had a career, has basically worked jobs in fields such as day care assistant teacher and library assistant and office work, and probably has never made more than $12 an hour.
She did not choose wisely, and there are A LOT of people our there like that. For every accountant or engineer, there is someone out there like that.

I'm just not so sure about that. All the data says graduating college is better than not, no matter what. There is absolutely dumb decisions that are made by many and we should do what we can to steer people away from making those decisions, but the OT consensus of "college is stupid, go to trade school" is objectively incorrect.
Obviously this isn't black and white and all factors must be considered, but when we are speaking in generalizations we have to use the data
