College is a decision that should be made on a per-person basis. You can't say "Person X has lots of computer skills, so he/she doesn't need college" because college teaches more than just skillset. It teaches things like organization and responsibility, which are both needed in the professional world, and usually niether are found in an 18-year-old HS grad.

I agree that 90% of the academic information taught in school is not applicable to a career (especially regarding, but not limited to hi-tech) but the other "soft skills" are worth the price of tuition.

Of course if you already have these soft skills, hit the road, Jack.
