This actually mirrors my experience, but I wonder if it is a little delayed.
I graduated with a BA in 2009, took a year off then went to grad school in 2011. That was quite a shock and I left in 2013 after my Master's... and it has gotten dramatically worse since then.
College grads pre 2010 is probably 80-20, but post 2010 it probably looks more like postgrad. What I am saying is that I think this trend is broken but we can't see it yet.
I recall seeing a bit more of a bi-polar effect there, although it was about "vaccine skepticism" rather than uptake (which was as much or more forced as it was voluntary). Where highschool and post grad educated cadres were the most skeptical as data started coming out, and the undergrads in the middle were the most credulous.
This was old news even at the time of its publishing in the 80's. But it documents the root cause -- the 1960's takeover of ivy's by marxist radicals and the foolish public who decided it didn't matter because "it's only college, it's not the real world"
The problem is it’s a fully funded pyramid scheme funded by the government through loan kickbacks and grants and pushed like a drug in public schools.
Mostly agree. However, in this case even the college grads are resisting this. It's people with masters+ who have gone insane looking at the data.
High School or less: 65% are sane, 35% insane
Some college: 61/39
College grad: 63/37
Postgrad: 38/62
Would be interesting to see the breakdown by field.

It was the same with Covid vaccine uptake
I recall seeing a bit more of a bi-polar effect there, although it was about "vaccine skepticism" rather than uptake (which was as much or more forced as it was voluntary).
