To me I think age and support is the issue. Kids are vulnerable. Most kids are told they need to make the decision on college at 16-17, idk about you but I was all alone in that decision, and I had 0 appreciation for arts or humanities. Personal life was tough at that age, it was the only thing on my mind, I was just working construction after school to make enough money to get out of the mess I was in. At 18 you have no skills, no support, no money, no one wants to hire you, what do you do? Someone offers you a way out you take it. I was not special, many kids had the same experience. Many drop out and entered the labor force.

I don't think college alone turns kids into Marxists. Not being exposed tough real life problems to occupy your time and being told "this is the way the world works" in a classroom vs experiencing how the world works before going into a classroom.
