people complain about student loans when they partied all 4 years and now their communications degree is asking 500$ a month at their door : )

Top quartile != top ℅25 it's more like the 75th percentile, and the range of a normalized function should cover 0-1, not it's actual outcome, that depends on the domain you choose.
No, it's not harmful. If someone else does what you do better than you do, you should let them have the job. ( Specially if they have much less experienced than you)

Loans / scholarships / work while in school. Anyone can do it IF they want to and work hard enough, its really not that hard in the US, less you want to go a school that you think you are good enough for but school doesn't agree, then you get people taking out stupid amounts in loans. Fact is everyone that squeaks through HS doesn't need college and likely shouldn't go.

Basically you take a college loan out. Go to college. Get the degree. Move to another country (preferably one in Africa) and say fuck you to college loans.
Otherwise you will die a slow death paying them off.

We have state colleges which offer lower tuition so people can still get the best education.

Just don't do what I did. I'll never pay off my loans. I didn't even get the degree I wanted. Ran completely out of money first.
Its not based on a quartile. "Developed nation" is based on a hard cut-off value (.800) that is independent of the number of countries involved, as they are measured against a series of fixed values. If only the top ten countries were included in the entire count, their scores would not change.
Paying to train someone to be better than you is insane and very self destructive.

If everyone had at least a Bachelor's degree, poverty would still exist, and likely in a similar ratio as seen today. It would just set the new minimum bar to hold any job.
