Education doesn't guarantee a high-level job (however we define it); but almost all high-level jobs require good education.

This is plainly false.

There is something to the fact that not everyone will need or benefit from a degree but the way you're rationalising it seems off. It's like you're saying that we should keep people uneducated so they don't get too uppity about what they do in life and we have them fill the worst jobs out there that nobody wants.

Well, I am not rationalising it. This argument was made against my project idea[0] to provide loan-free education so that everyone gets access to it without the burden of debt.
