That's true, but by and large people in the US interchange college and university freely, with no regard as to which it actually is.
If I could, I would stay in school for as long as I had the money. College life is FUN. Granted, I would switch to a different school than the one I currently go to though. But just because a lot of people with money attend college, doesn't cheapen the experience for the students who don't have much money. You'll still be getting that degree that will lead to a better job, regardless of how many people don't take college seriously. So, why care about the reasons people go to school? If they didn't go to school, you'd still be in the same boat, so there is no point in worrying about them.
And hell, rich people make school better. I mean, if only poor people went to college, who would buy the beer?
