Yes. Disclaimer: I'm one of those. I started a degree, but dropped out. It was just a waste of time and money, "learning" and doing what they put before me, which often was outdated, badly presented, silly or plain wrong (this might be different in a good college, I tried three different Spanish ones). I could just go and learn by myself the right things, from the right sources (seriously, the Internet is full of _amazing_ stuff), both theoretical and practical. If something, I wish I could take back all that time and money rather than go back and finish. I never had a problem so far on getting hired or learning what I want or need.
