I agree that college is overpriced in general. However, not getting a degree is just not an option for most people. It's not just lawyers, doctors and high finance -- entry-level jobs in most professional fields including sciences, engineering, education, nursing, psychology, journalism (I can go on and on) require at least a bachelor's degree. Yes, people can learn a lot on their own, but without that piece of paper, many positions will be completely out of reach for you without it (not saying its right or wrong, just that it's reality)
