Hardly any student is going to school for "basket weaving" degrees, and women's studies or black studies programs have always had very low enrollments. Most college students are attending for job training degrees in computer science, healthcare, or business...and they still have to go into debt because employers force people to have a degree to get hired.
You don't need a degree in business to start a business and you don't need a computer science degree to write code, or do mechanical or electrical engineering.
You really shouldn't need a nursing degree to practice medicine, but the government says you have to.
No, you don't "need" it for those things but its the way most people have to get their start now. Not everyone has the aptitude or the skill to run their own business. These band aid solutions might work for some individuals but they are not going to fix what is a huge institutional problem.

My counterargument: Trade school's limit the number of students who enroll in medical programs to prevent wages for medical staff to go down.
