A major difference between high school and college is that people choose to be in college; they don’t choose to be in high school. Make someone’s economic life dependent on college and it switches back to being high school.
And something that you haven’t addressed is when people leave. I’m imagining people being more than happy getting stuck in thesis hell for their Masters or Doctorate because it means they still have a roof over their head and food on the table and being a student would be a far better job than a lot of other work out there.
