i'm not an adherent to the belief in the man so i'm not going to make any references to him.
instead of being locked into a crap job for the rest of your life doing nothing you could be free to actually find out a little about the planet you live on, having real experiences, and it makes sense that the more new experiences you have will make your life longer if only for the fact that days dont meld together (rant). not waiting for scraps but getting jobs where ever you go.
most of the big positions that people strive all their life to achieve mean nothing, its stagnating the human race.

I have a friend who doesn't have a college degree, jumped around from job to job. He's been doing this for more than a decade. He's not in a position to get a career advancing job. He's looking for the scrap jobs because he's not qualified for anything else that's engaging to the mind or his soul.
Going to college doesn't necessarily equate to debt because of student loans.
Going to college doesn't necessarily equate to "unnecessary guff".
Going to college should be something that the individual wants to do, and the learning that occurs there should be for it's own sake.
Going to college exposes you to the variety of experiences possible out there in the real world.
I don't disagree with you that many people strive for positions and goals that are meaningless, but I find that to be a failing of their priorities, not of college.
Like the saying goes, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."
