I agree. Which is why I think higher tuition fees -- or, in other words, and end to subsidized postsecondary education -- is a good idea. Remember, those who don't have are the ~50% of the population who don't go to postsecondary education.

(And don't try to claim that this is because they can't afford the associated costs; studies have repeatedly found that the costs of higher education are a very very minor factor in determining students' postsecondary attendance. The largest determining factor, by far, is the educational qualifications of students' parents.)
