You are absolutely right. The problem is that nobody is telling this to students or their parents, who think that sending their snowflake, who never visited a library and who has no intellectual  inclinations whatsoever to a university is a good idea because universities guarantee good jobs. Admitting that their child has different talents, best suited for pursuits that don't require university education, or no talents at all, carries a social stigma. Universities are not going to admit to that either, since this my cause the drop in enrolments, engendering jobs of ever growing army of well paid and absolutely useless administrators.
