Your note at the end is actually the big point to me. The American Dream isn't college, it's education and job security. College happens to be one way to achieve those things, not as reliably as it was in the past.

Sadly the two are mixed up even outside of USA. Since that 68ers thing in Europe, central-left has maintained that that the way to prosperity is education. Thus if you do not hold some kind of college degree you are not trying hard enough.
