It sounds like more people need a degree in 'crystal balls' to be able to predict their future and plan accordingly. Making such broad stroke ASSumptions and predictions for your livelihood for the 10/20/40 years of your (and family's) life would appear to be misguided as you never know what the future may hold.

That is the risk of going into business for yourself. You risk not knowing what your future might bring 3, 4 or 10 years from now.
Going to college gives you some piece of paper that allows you a somewhat more secure but perhaps less rewarding future if you choose to work for someone else. If you want to be part of the worker bee force then you should get a college education. It's just that simple.
You can run your own small business and be successful with out a college education and almost no fortune 500 company would hire you into management, but they would hire a collage grad student.
