What's with all the 'Boo! College is bad!' posts these days? Don't get me wrong, if people find good jobs and educate themselves without going to college, more power to them. However, I dislike the tendency of some(/many) of these posts to present college as a waste of time. It's not. And that's from someone who dropped out the first time around. ;)

It's "Why I am unsubscribing" which is different from "Boo! College is bad!"

Isn't the article exactly about that?

Whether college is a waste of time or not depends on the college, teachers, peers, if you can afford it, what you want to get out of it, how much work you are willing to put, and a variety of other factors. Saying that "college isn't waste of time" is as meaningless as "college is a waste of time". Also, the article wasn't arguing either ways - "what didn't work for me" isn't the same as "it doesn't work."

I am pretty sure for every "I quit my job and started my company" there are many "Don't quit your job. That's from someone who quit his job". Different people, different strokes - there isn't any universal rule of thumb.
