I know, and I shouldn't even hint, on a public forum which is read by (presumably) thousands of young people, that college is a waste of time.
It is for me though, a wonderful irony that several supervisors and managers for whom I previously worked, and who delighted in telling me the "you ain't going nowhere without that sheepskin fella" story, are still where they were then -- and I'm not.

But, go to college kids!.
Really, if you still have that passion and work ethic when you graduate, you'll still be able to capitalize on them.
It'll just take some unlearning.
