Basically, unless you want to start your own company, you're better off getting a degree than not getting one.
Just look at this:

And even if you start your own company, the knowledge and network you get from university and the experience you'll have from working in a job you wouldn't have gotten without a degree will usually help tremendously.
The guys from Google? They met at Stanford. The guys from Yahoo? Met at Stanford. Amazon? Princeton degree. Ebay? CS degree with work experience. PayPal? Yeah, degrees. Starbucks? Degrees. Arcelor Mittal? Degree.
Of the 5 richest people in the world, 3 have finished university, and 1 dropped out.
Basically, what it comes down to is this: degrees matter.
