Let's just say that college doesn't provide you with the skills you need like actual hands on experience will. But, it's tough to get in the door for the interview without some sort of degree. It shouldn't be like that, but it is. Then add the cost of college and the payback time if you do find a job eventually, and it becomes a bigger waste. I had 1 meaningful class in college and it wasn't even tought by a professor, it was a hands on real life situation doing computer programming. And that was a 10 week semester!
