Oh come now. While there are certainly exceptions, in most cases going to college, learning how to learn, developing a strong work-ethic, does indeed prepare you to be successful in life.
I know we like to go on about how you don't need a 4-year degree to be a successful in software development. But this doesn't extend to most fields.

You shouldn't roll over and give up just because you didn't get to go to 4-year college. But an education is a resource, and you want to use all the resources you can get at. I agree that universities are often prohibitively expensive, and not always the best decision anymore. Many programs at many universities flunk a cost-benefit analysis.
