Correct. My concern is if young folks, such as when I was in middle or high school, read this they might become too underachieving.

Okay, the age at which somebody is exposed to certain media seems like a potentially valid concern. I thought you were making a statement about adults who hadn't obtained those credentials, which would be a whole other bag of worms; it's possible to attend college without a highschool diploma or equivalent, and it's also possible to achieve difficult things without either of those pieces of paper in hand.
