I like the tone of the post but I think it's a bit lacking in explanation on why college is important.
College makes you develop as a person. You interact with other students, you learn new stuff, you do your homework and the end result is - you've grown. It's about the process, not the end result like so many anti-college posts seem to focus on.
It's the experience of college that makes it important. The way I look at hiring college grads for instance, it's not about their grades, it's about knowing they can stick it and do it on their own. Finishing college is a merit.
I believe processes like college force you to develop as a person. Speaking from my experience, it was one of the most influential experiences I have had, and I studied Comp Sci, nothing fancy. The other would be my 5 years in the army, which similarly most people would dismiss as a waste of time, but I don't think I'd be the same person without it.
The way I think of it, it's about the process, and like it or not, going to college takes you through that process. Sure it's not for everyone, but come on people, stop hating :)
