I am pretty sure that the US graduates a larger fraction of its population from college than Germany does. At least that was true in 2012: https://www.businessinsider.com/r-us-falls-behind-in-college...

having a degree is no guarantee that you possess employable skills.

Germany is much better at shunting people away from university who are not qualified to be there. Generally, they go to trade schools and apprenticeships.

Also there is a hybrid called "Fachhochschule" which is a more practical variant of an university
