Do you ever wonder how many assumptions you're making about those who've not completed college? I don't mean this in an insulting way, but I feel it should be noted that it is quite degrading. Your comment assumes:

1) This writer is not self-aware. They haven't taken stock of the full impact of college.

2) Other writers, who also write similar posts, are also not self-aware. This trend is not that college is in fact bad, but that many people who leave college fail at recognizing the true benefits. This is an epidemic.

3) That most people who don't attend college are unable to write well.

4) On top of the items above, that you feel you know more than this person about their own life.

This all feels to me like hefty cognitive bias to me.
