That's the point.

You get in a big pile of debt for a useless degree, while at the same time being taught that the only path to paying off that debt is for the government to do it for you.

And another reliable Democrat voter is formed.

Paired with parents, teachers, and pretty much every authoritative adult in their life insisting that they MUST go to college to have any chance in the world. Then never actually following that up with nuances like making sure their chosen degree gives the them a clear path to employment that will consistently pay enough to offset the cost of the degree. As a result, college education is viewed as the end and not the means to the end.

Really, the messsage needs to be first asking what they want to do for a career. Then determining if college is even necessary for that career. Then, if it is, determining if a degree from a high end university will actually make a difference vs a more affordable community college. Do they need a prestigious degree to get in to the career or is college just teaching fundamentals and checking a box and not going to make much difference where they get it? Then, determine how much college they actually need. Do they really need a Bachelor's to get started, or would an Associate degree be sufficient? Then, with all that determined, choosing only the college, degree, and classes needed to graduate to meet the entry level of their chosen profession and will actually contribute to their skill level to spend as little time (and money) as possible in college while still coming out with what they need to get started.
