I think there is an assumption that this enables such a job that otherwise would be unattainable. As an individual, of course you want the $80k job, despite the $60k job "requiring less debt", plus you then get to keep the $80k job after the 2 years.

If I want to optimize for longevity of career and salary, then a college degree is the obvious choice.

My assumption based on your posts is that you have a degree you are proud of and look down on those that don't. Anything that makes that choice seem unwise is quickly put down or dismissed. I find this attitude quite common with those that spent a lot of money for a piece of paper.
