> I know a lot of older people who regret not going to college

Sure. There's an equal amount of young people who regret going.

Not that they regret the education received per se, but do not feel that its value is anywhere close to the amount of student debt they are in.

Undergraduate courses should either be publicly funded or employers should adjust their expectations. Part of the problem is that nowdays college degrees are required even for fairly low-paying jobs, which wasn't always the case.
