A college degree is becoming less and less about education and more and more about being part of a club. Lots of people figure that out early and if they don't need the club to succeed, it's easy for them to walk away.
If I had to do school all over again I wouldn't get the degree. I would just take the classes that were educational and I'd probably be much better for it. Nobody has ever asked if I have a degree my entire professional life.
