The purpose of university changed. They were originally just public institutions where you went to just learn things. You did not get a job from learning mathematics or whatever else at a university, you just learned things. Maybe as a professor, but a degree at x university in the year 1400 sure as fuck wouldnt land you anything that paid besides that. The things that people learned at early university would educate them into furthering their passions, which were not jobs, which effectively created things such as the Renaissance, and also the scientific revolution. There was no motive for the people who attended college besides the desire to accrue knowledge and better themselves, which filtered out everyone but the most intellectual by default

Now, it's not about passion for higher learning, theology, and science anymore (for most, but for some it is). Now it's just about getting a piece of paper that might let you work somewhere (it probably wont). Back then you had to be very intelligent to attend college at all. Now? It's a given that there's only 4 paths after high school: go to college, trades, military, or become a neet. And most go with the first option and it's what every parent expects their child is going to choose to do. Especially in america, where college has become so ubiquitous that its damn near considered a universal stage of life and is in the realm of pop culture.
