But.. those who do go to university and get a degree will earn substantially more in their lifetimes than those who don't. Why should bus drivers have to subsidize the education of lawyers?

That isn’t always the case and that is part of the problem?

Why should a bus driver get all the benefits of a modern society? These things were created by lawyers and engineers to make that bus an invention, with safety features for said bus driver, and policies/regulations allowing her to operate a bus.

Yeah, what you say sounds nice until you realize we live in a world that already exists and everything is intertwined.
