Yes, they draw you in with false information.

But, I'll never recommend someone not to go to a university. Just to be smart about it. Take difficult math and english writing courses. In undergrad study to become intelligent and well-rounded. Do a basic science degree with a minor in an art or humanities, or flip that around.

In grad school study to get a job. Know too many physics PhDs who could only grab 20-40k/year intro engineering jobs.

Or if you want to bypass higher amounts of money and understanding of the world, just do a degree like engineering, nursing, accounting in undergrad so you're studying to get a job right off. You could just go to a tech school or community college if you're not planning on grad school tbh.

You also don't need college for a well paying job. But you do for a well paying job that's interesting where you'll be working with intelligent people.
