I don't think people here think college education is useless in all fields. In the Humanities, yes: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=565980 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=565980 Also MBA degrees are bashed periodically; but I don't think engineering and medical school degrees are. Edit: and for the Humanities and MBA, the reasons I usually see for bashing are more like "not worth spending the time to learn" than "easy to self-teach".
