The people who make obscene amounts of money dropped out of college.
Those who shaped Western Civilization and thought were not, for the most

They did it without college too.
The idea that college is necessary "to learn how to think" is
ridiculous.
I imagine I have spent more time in class than most of the people
here, it just wasn't at a university.
I learned real skills, not some bull**** philosophy from a professor
that went to school at 5 and never left. These people have never
actually worked in the real world. Why would we expect any real world
knowledge from them.
You might not be aware of this, but you are presenting almost verbatim
the sort of response those who didn't go to college offer. It doesn't wash.
