There are lots of careers without university, it's just that society has played up university to be some kind of magic wand for people to find a career, so you have people languishing in school building up debt and trying to find jobs in markets that don't need their skills. Even working at earls can be lucrative. Head chefs and Restaurant Leaders can clear 100k. People choose to mess around at earls because they don't have the foresight to plan appropriately.
I would imagine after doing a short apprenticeship where you can get paid and then moving immediately into the workforce would be a much more practical plan for many people at this point in time. Instead we have people playing grown up living on their own, taking a masters in degrees with little job prospects. All of which adds up to debt.
People forget that university isn't the only route in life.
Plumber high school education --> after 2 years you're clearing 60k
Electrician High school education (without even math 30) --> clearning 60 after 2 years...
There's plenty of jobs out there for people, it's just that there's too many people who feel they are "too good" for certain types of work. or deserve something they deem as "better"
you have much to learn young grasshopper
