Funny, I think it's bullshit, and I've spent 10 years in higher education. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of the most educated people on TFP will agree that it's bullshit. So I'd have to say that without a scientific, random sample to back up your statement, it's really just based on your own opinion. Which is fine and all, but don't generalize to the rest of us.
Also, don't forget that a huge portion of the world population has NOT been to college, which means that if you say "a huge portion of the population," you're talking about maybe 30% of the American population (and that's only in the US; other countries have much lower percentages of college-educated people). Sorry, but that's not a huge portion, if you're associating that with going to college and therefore believing in the ladder theory.
Basically, your logic is all confounded here.
