If you believe the only purpose of a university is to turn out technically trained workers to meet the demand of the market, and not to produce an overall more educated, critically capable, socially aware populace, then sure. I personally believe there is room for both in higher education BUT the problem that’s specific to the US is that a college education is expensive no matter what you plan to do with it. I think that’s actually what Mulaney was getting at too: that he had to pay a lot of money to be told to read Austen. He chose to do that degree so it couldn’t have been the reading Austen part he had an issue with. It was the cost. That kind of education should be free or close to free, as it is in many other developed countries.

Also, specifically to address your claim that the right degrees always adequately prepare you for lucrative jobs, that is quite inaccurate at the undergraduate level and even becoming an antiquated notion beyond college. Higher education is currently having a hard time keeping up with the technically advanced reality of the workplace, so reskilling and upskilling both become increasingly necessary to stay competitive in the fields with the highest compensations.
