I consider the University as a shortcut for knowledge.
Without University, how many years I would take to understand ACID databases, for instance. How many bad decisions and mistakes I would do, how less competitive I would be, how much time I would lose doing things wrong. In the University I was guided and tested. I learned theory and practice, through the books and also by the mistakes of others.

The only difference is whether one has/needs guidance about what to study, and advice from others with more experience.
