Right, I agree with most of it. I don't think, though, that makes the students less likely to learn. Exams are still really difficult, thus students are forced to learn if they want to pass. Btw, I Babylon Candle, what about places where universities are almost free of charge? My parents didn't have to spend any of their life-savings to send me to university; in fact, I managed and manage to pay all the (small - around 500 € per year) tuition-fees and all my further expenses by working part-time. Actually if I add scolarships and the like, I end up with a net balance of +1000 € a year.
Im admittedly not talking about modern europe. Its my understanding that in the UK its quite common to have your career be entirely different than your major (less credentialism?). Also, mainland europe college is more vocational from what i hear??? (in which case, American universities can be quite vocational too if you pick the right major: accounting/engineering/etc).
