If a college degree is a sure route to success and fortune, why do we hear so many stories of college graduates working in labor jobs or can't find a job at all. There are stories all over the place about college educated mid-level management people being laid off. Just like the market place can be over saturated with a certain product which causes the demand and price to fall, the same can be with too many college graduates. More grads than jobs.
My nephew makes $100K+ as an auto mechanic and has no school loan debt. It is very possible that had he gone to college and chose a degree with a future he would probably be making more money, but he had no desire for further education. If a person has a skill in a trade with a demand for workers, you can make good money.
