By the way, In my opinion?
College degrees are usually STAGGERINGLY overrated.
I got a BS in business from a well-respected, private university?
I learned almost nothing that truly prepared me for the world of economics...except some history, a LOT of near-useless terminology and a bunch of theories from my prof's (professors).
LOTS of the mega-wealthy never got a degree.

My advice?
1) if you KNOW what you want to be and you HAVE to have a degree to do it (doctor, lawyer, nurse, engineer, etc.)
Then college is - obviously - a good idea.
2) if you do not know what you want to be OR you know but a college degree is not essential for it?
DO NOT go to college...unless someone/something else is paying for it (like when I went).
Travel, start a business, sit on your ass for a year or two (to find yourself)...whatever.
But there are few things, scholastically sadder than someone with a degree in a field they no longer care about...with student loans up the yahoo.
Do not go to college unless you are POSITIVE of what you want to be AND you NEED a degree to do it (again...unless it's free).
