Many "fancy private schools" in fact do NOT have grad students teaching classes and also have small lecture and lab courses. At many elite liberal arts colleges, that is what you're paying for. And in some cases, it is worth the money. Or at least used to be...

If people are unemployed with a "useless" degree, blame the person, not the degree. College is what you make of it, not what you are magically given by the ivory tower. Each person has to determine the value proposition for a degree, and I admit that it is getting questionable in some (many?) cases.
