An important point is that it's only a head start. Once you are actually working and have experience the degree doesn't matter unless it's required by the company or for government jobs. Plenty of people without degrees do very well for themselves. They don't accept that working as a barista or at a gas station is a career and seek out other options.

What if baristas and gas station attendants made enough money to buy houses, afford health care, and pay off university loans? That would be amazing.

Would be cool, but sadly it's not happening.

Coffee and gas is already outrageously expensive.
