IDK, I went to a state tech school and the huge majority (including myself) were from union/working class parents with no degrees. For at least my parents, getting a degree was seen as a ticket to a better life.

At the time, that school was also the cheapest (and consistently ranked at best value) so I think it just kind of self selected.

The competing private tech university however … I’m guessing those kids had parents with degrees.
