Correlation /= causation. Are people not doing drugs and going to jail because they went to college, or are those who go to college more privileged and are, therefore, less likely to do drugs or go to jail regardless?
Your degree doesn't guarantee a job. During the Great Recession, quite a few majors had very high unemployment rates. Some of them were majors people wouldn't expect to have high unemployment rates. But, in general, some fields are more resilient than others during economic downturns. College-educated people have to be prepared to take a job that doesn't require a degree when the job market is bad. Overall, yes college-educated people do have lower unemployment rates even during periods when a lot of them are not directly using their degrees.
Having a degree did help me land jobs in occupations that I had little to no experience in. Education was allowed as a substitution for experience.
