Something else to think about regarding this issue.

College isn't necessary if all you want to do is make a living, or even make a fortune, but believe it or not, money isn't everything to all people.

We're not going to find a cure for cancer without people going to college. We're not going to have many engineers, doctors, dentists, scientists, etc if nobody goes to college.
There are alot of other things the world needs besides people who are good at buying something for $1 and selling it for $2.

A post was made earlier about how come the children of the rich are often not financial successes, even though they're given every advantage vis a vis education.
Did it ever occur to you that money isn't important to them because they grew up in an environment of excess and decided that they wanted to do something with their life other than doubling their father's fortune?
