Well it's not as if people who don't go to college sit about twiddling their thumbs. There's an argument to be made that people who don't spend those years having their life structured and defined by a university learn other important lessons. There's particular irony to making the point that college is where you learn to think on HN. Many founders, like Bill Gates, dropped out of college to be hyper focused on their mission. Rather than thinking of college as a blanket solution for everybody I wish people viewed it as a tool. Some people need it, some people flat out don't.
