Or they could go to a reasonably priced college for $40k or less and get just as good of a job. $120k is a jokingly high amount of tuition.

Reasonable priced such as an in-state university?

In-state: 30,656 * 4 = 122k
Out Of State: 51,181 * 4 = 205k

You picked a total outlier, a very prestigious public school in one of the most expensive states. University of Utah, for example, is a relatively good school and costs about $8k / year for in state tuition.
University of Utah costs 23k per year in-state with a total cost of 27k per year including indirect costs. Out of state is 43k/yr excluding indirect costs.
If you looked at this 5-10 years ago your numbers were probably right. But interest rates are low and borrowers can borrow far too much money.

Tuition is $9k per semester full time [1]. You're looking at costs that include housing, which someone needs regardless of their status as a student.
