It is going to take primary schools getting their act together. I have been a big proponent for Voc Tech programs which have been decimated over the last 25 years. By the time a student is in the 8th grade you have a good idea if the person is a serious student or not. Kids are going to go from have 1.8-2.8 GPA's and all of a sudden start getting 3.7 GPAs? They are already behind. Get the actual students in to the college prep courses and the others in Voc-Tech. Every person in high school needs to come out with the skills to get an actual college degree or have the skills to be productive in the workforce.
As has been stated, a degree is valuable if it is the right degree. The problem is colleges offer meaningless degrees and admit nearly anybody, knowing they are just going to pass them through with a basket weaving degree or end up flunking them out after 2 years, with no meaningful skill and a mountain of debt.
