I get the same feeling with the “not everybody should attend college” crowd, since it too often seems to consist of high status inviduals from elite schools vastly overstating their case. That is, signaling their status. (In fact, unless you’re super interested in becoming a professor, you probably shouldn’t attend college in the same way non-priests shouldn’t have taken up seminary.)
I’m not confident I understand what you are saying.
I don’t think I understand either (illusion of transparency and all that). You seem to be saying that people from elite schools say not everybody should attend college, whereas in fact, you shouldn’t attend college unless you want to become a professor. (That after reading it five times I’m still not sure of what you meant is not a good sign)

Not confdent about which part? Skeptics or college-as-seminary?

Less clever analogies, more clarity please!
