The American dream of study hard, work hard, save money, buy a house, raise a family is becoming less and less viable for a growing number of young people.

IN truth, that dream was mainly one created solely in the era of fossil fuel driven ICE and assembly line production. From roughly 1910 . The era of mass production. Of Levittown where all the homes looked alike.

We are now well into the era of personal production which will have different dreams. I firmly believe that WFH will transform the dreams, allowing people to own homes in cheaper aeas of the country that will have economies based on WFH rather than extractive industries.

EDIT - education will change rapidly. It is now possible for people to be trained in a new industry quite rapidly, making it easier to move around to the best place to work. The best thing a college education can now do is to train people to learn quickly.
