Re: What are your non fandom secrets.

That leads into my non fandom secret; that kind of broad knowledge/education was valued more highly when every Tom, Dick, and Harry didn't go to college.

I think too many people go to college. Remedial freshman classes prove this, IMO.

On on hand, we want more educated people voting and such, and many jobs are more complex. On the other, most jobs can be taught. Training is necessary anyway. I wish we had a society where more people sought knowledge for fun instead of degrees for career advancement.

I don't think the problem is that we have too many people going to university (and let me say this post is very US-specific). We should have lots of people going to university, those are the people who can do the kinds of jobs that we need them to do. And as you say, we need more educated people voting.

The problem is two-fold. One, the cost of going to university is too high. Two, universities (for the most part) aren't in the position economically of being able to provide a space for people to seek knowledge for knowledge sake. At best, that's a desirable side-effect of the university education system as it presently exists.

In both cases, the solution is the same: we need much more funding for the higher education system (and ideally, we need to spend less of that function on new building construction, administrative expense and Division 1 sports teams). We need more public universities that can provide cheap, quality basic university educations to everyone who needs one. And we need funding for basic research and for people to be able to make careers in academia. And these investments would be paid back 100-fold in terms of improvements to society.
