It's not useless. You have to have a degree if you want to go into a lot of fields. If you want to work for yourself, you don't need one but it's to have it to fall back on in case you ever need to get a real job. People with college degrees make a lot more on average than people without degrees. This is fact.
Also, in college you are exposed to a lot of subjects that you probably would not expose yourself to on your own. I know there are a lot of things I learned in college that I wouldn't have bothered to learn if I hadn't been required to. I think education makes you a more well rounded person and improves your critical thinking. It also gives you a chance to improve your interpersonal skills and learn to budget your time in a controlled enviornment. I don't see how college could do anything but improve your chances of succeeding in business.
