thing is though if you had that degree behind your name and some polish(refinement) you would be CIO of some Corporation A and youd be making the money(your pink skin wouldve help too)...(and you sure wouldnt have sleepless nights and or be eating hot dogs and hotty patties for sustinance)
a college education is more than about getting trained...its about the experience...the exposure to different cultures... different kinds of people...self actualization...fulfillment. respect that if nothing at all.
I doubt it .. but yes ... some people actually do require the further education.
I myself havent been eating hotdogs all my life you do realize? It has been a struggle to learn and actually experience what I have in the real world, over the past few years, so in essence i bypassed what would have taken me tons of money and many more years, if I had simply got a loan to goto college. Personally from experience, I also do not feel most professors, at least in my areas of interest, have near the knowledge that is required.
The last parts you mentioned I got all of that and more from High School myself, as well as experience in international job environments during my younger years.
Now if you were to ask me if I was to do things differently in my 20s if I had to do it again .. certainly .. though that doesn't necessarily mean college .. nor does it not.
