The only thing WORSE than the money investment IMO is the time investment. Here I am, light at the end of the tunnel. More than ever I feel I have wasted the last 4 years if my life.
You people that say you get to meet diverse people are insane. You dont think you would meet people in business? By diverse you must not mean the annoying entitled doushebags around my campus. Or are you talking about professors that have no real world expirence? Why meet people like these OWS crowd? How will that benefit you? Cant you get drunk with friends without paying for a scam?
If you cant learn to live on you own without college you deserve to be homeless.
Some of this logic is totally flawed.

The problem with your thinking is that you assume that everyone is capable of making the jump from child to self-sustaining adult instantly as soon as they turn 18. Maybe you were, and sometimes I think I am too (it's a jump I'll be making in a few months, by then I will be 19) but the fact is, it's not easy and college provides a cushion; a balance between self-sustainability (living on one's own, learning how to manage one's own money and time) and protection (being surrounded by people in your own situation, parents/government/school paying for your way maybe). It's a cushion that doesn't exist in the 'real world'.
And, yes, most of the people you meet in college will get nowhere (even if you go to a prestigious school). Some, however, will go extremely far. It's not hard to tell who these people are; just look at their mindset and their interactions with you as well as with other people.
Notice how I didn't mention education once in this response post. It was intentional.
