It's also straw-manning the very obviously fair observation that college is crazy expensive in the US. He also said that it's good "to have skin in the game" and that debt affords the opportunity to receive a quality education. Yeah, it is good to have skin in the game. No one disagrees with that. The criticism is that it costs 50k/year and you leave with a liberal arts skillset (IE, not uniquely qualified for anything). I'm not even saying liberal arts is bad, but at 50k a year it should have a direct path to a direct, obvious path to a high paying job. It doesnt.
Instead we get platitudes that leave the very obvious problem of rapidly rising tuition unaddressed. Honestly people need to just stop taking out debt for things like that. You mention needing a degree for everything. In some sense you do, because people ask for it, but I don't think you need it. It's just oversaturated.
