That statistic only reflects students who graduated and doesn't support your claim that "most Americans do not go to college".
It appears that claim is wrong:
"In October 2018, 69% of 16- to 24-year-olds who graduated high school in 2018 were enrolled, with 9 out of 10 reporting they were full-time students – a marginal increase over 2017 high school graduates, 67% of whom were enrolled in college or university. Over the last decade, that figure has fluctuated between 66% and 70%."

It is probably worth recognizing that for students who go to college for the experience there is little incentive to graduate.
