If only time was the only thing lost by going through the system. The cost of college was the biggest reason why I personally did not go to school. The cost of not only having to pay back loans, but also the loss of 4+ years of savings and investments. My brothers have both completed degrees; yet I currently make more, have much more in savings, have none of the debt, and have been living independently for longer. However, I would certainly agree that not having a degree means you have to work much harder to find opportunities and prove yourself. Degrees certainly open doors more easily, but that doesn't mean you can't lock pick them given enough time.
