College today is a venture strictly for the rich. The rest will become debt slaves regardless of the field they enter.

Not true. A person can still go to the bargain-basement university I went to and not go into debt.

You also could get a full-time job at any university and take advantage of its tuition benefit. I am getting my PhD for the cost of books only -- 100% tuition covered.
And, there are a number of private American universities that cover tuition 100% such as Cooper Union. Finally, you can always study in Canada or another country where tuition is covered or much lower than U.S. colleges.

Meet Brittany, a Tufts alum who studied drama and communications and owes $118,000 in student loans. For someone who went to such a prestigious U, she sure was an idiot when it came to understanding the consequences of her decision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7JcHz6ucyI

Cooper Union in New York city began charging tuition a few years ago. Now the cost is over $40,000, though this is offset by financial aid for selected undergrads.
The problem with the Tufts grad's loan balance is that, like so many others, she went six figures into debt for a fluff degree that has little or no value in the real world, especially among employers. The dirty little secret is that students take liberal arts and certain other majors because these are seen as easy ways to get a bachelor's without too much studying and with lots of time for partying. At ages 18–21 many people tend to make quick-and-easy, shortsighted, stupid decisions. Massive debt for a worthless major that allows loads of fun time is one such.

Slightly off topic but I'm thinking of going to university to do a language degree that also studies the history, culture and politics of the country. I never got the chance to go into higher education when I was younger. All this talk of 'fluff' degrees is making me wonder if I'm making the right decision.
