Going to a real college where you could actually fail (and I did -- in Raquetball of all things!) teaches you things that you need later in life. While my three years of Calculus never did come in handy at work, knowing how to deal with the huge bureaucracy that was my university did. (At the time, it was the largest in the world.)
That being said, lack of a college degree probably shouldn't preclude you from having a job like mine, but it DOES. It's used as a filtering mechanism by employers. It's not fair, and probably not wise, but it's TRUE.
