only about half the population goes to college, and 20 years ago it was only about a 1/3 and so on.
high school is a universal experience, college is not. so there is a broader media audience for high school, and yes for many people high school was there youth and they became working adults once they left it.
the prolong adolescence of college and post-graduate study is mostly for the top 25-10% of the population who are wealthy and not relatable to the vast majority of the population. when i was a college kid and a graduate student, my uneducated parents thought college was just partying all the time because of movies about college only showed frat parties and antics. They had no clue I was working 80 hour weeks and getting drunk maybe once a month or less.
