Great, now we'll have millions of college grads and not enough jobs for them. While the 5 plumbers in the USA will charge $600 an hour.

But if you even metaphorically force people to become plumbers (as they don't have to be only that any more than your example meant only that) instead of go to college to avoid that you just end up with a flipped scenario and too many plumbers

So the end result of genetic selection for only academic success is a few happy folks and a lot of people forced into jobs they don't care to work. Sounds like capitalism, but with more medical procedures.

Doesn't mean it's a good or bad thing just that it's like the current system

Considering that the majority of people in the USA are either ambivalent or hate their jobs, the current system sucks.
