You would only get those same problems if you made college mandatory, as well as free.

A real commitment to a policy of free tertiary education would also expand the availability of trade schools not just universities.

This is part of the proposal of progressives. They always emphasized the freedom for a student to choose between trade school or community college, and then move on to a public 4 year school if they chose to do so.
