Your last paragraph says it all. We need people who drop out or just barely finish high school to do all the jobs that nobody else wants to do. If everyone has a college degree, we'll have physics majors flipping our burgers.
If you want to look at it from a Marxist/conflict theorist view, this is the upper class (bourgeoisie) keeping down the lower class (proletariat) by allowing those who have money to get more money and those without money to stay there. But, as you said, that's the nature of the economy...
