How about less educational demands for employment? How many people could do their job just fine with a hs degree and on the job training? I could.
People talk about free college in Europe they don't mention that few are admitted to college, most learn trades
It has been stated many times on this forum that the US could adopt an education policy based on a country like Germany for example where college education is free, but only the cream of the crop have this privilege, which amounts to roughly 5% of the population.

Classes you will not use in your field. All degrees require electives that do nothing toward the student's chosen field. Why require three Algebra classes for someone wanting to teach history, for instance, or for Psychology or Sociology degrees? Two thirds of the classes nursing students are required to take, have no use in nursing.

I question your understanding of college...
College isn't for most occupations.
Very few people in those fields will do research. Most will teach. And having had all those classes in college, Algebra is not used in them.
Default on student loans, get drafted into the military for six years.
They would probably learn more valuable skills in the military than they did in college!
