Why does it seem like people value watered down education for job placement over actual education nowadays?

It seems like it is becoming more and more common for people to attend diploma mills. It seems like all people care about is fast tracking for job placement after high school, disregarding education outside of one’s job. How can we get the US to start to value and fund higher education like it used to a few decades ago?
