This is a good thread. I have a few friends in the same spot.
Personally, I think college is a good thing. I know people who didn't go will bash it and say it's not needed. I know people will say how they are rich and didn't go. The fact is though that those with college degrees make signifigantly more. Besides that, college is a great place to learn a lot of skills besides what you pick up in the books. You learn responsibility, self accountability, and handling yourself under pressure. You learn social skills and other everyday skills that would otherwise be missed.
The other end is if you truly feel you can make a lot of money right now. You are right that the Internet is ripe. You can make a ton of cash right now. The thing is, you better be sure that you can before not going to college. Otherwise you'll end up behind everyone else if things fail.
Regardless of what people say here, there are skills you just won't learn without college. Not to mention it's a chance to nail naive young college girls on a regular basis. No amount of money can top that.
My suggestion is if you think you can make a lot of money right now, do it. But take a few courses on the side to keep your end in the game. It's tough to stop going to school and start back up years later. And if everything comes crashing down, you'll have some courses under your belt and be able to finish up sooner.
