That last part is true. The issue is what many millennials were told and are continued to be told. They are told ANY college degree leads to good paying jobs and the middle class. So say you major in English or Soc because you are told going to college earns you more money and any major works (and will prevent you from McJobs (and you are a failure if you land in these jobs.)) and now you graduate 4/5 years later and find the only jobs available are McJobs you were told you were going to college to not do. Now you wonder why millennials are "entitled." Our generational parents told us we shouldn't have to resort to it. But when we follow their logic we are wrong...
I am trying to leave political bias out but you do hear more liberals saying you need college than conservatives. Not necessarily that conservatives hate education but they just don't shove it down people's throats.
