I disagree. College goes beyond education, it's an experience. Living out on your own for the first time, juggling social life with work, and interacting with people of all backgrounds.

And yes the majority of people there are being trained to work for someone else. But most of the world does work for someone else. We're in a rare industry that has a majority of people working for themselves. We also have very little startup costs. But if you're trying to open your own business and go to the bank/VC asking for a loan, they're going to value that degree in their decision.
