I know a few people with PhDs that are dumb as rocks. It takes effort, dedication and commitment to get a college degree and it doesn't always prove that you are smart.

I am 9 credits away from a Master Degree and I am proud to have a MAS soon, regardless of what anyone says about college. If I owned my own company, I would not hire anyone without a bachelors degree. To me, it shows that you don't quit when things get hard and that you aren't lazy. No one forces anyone to get a college degree, people do it to better themselves. And for those that say they don't have time to go to college, there are plenty of online programs. If someone can spend 3 hours watching TV or on the internet, they can spend those 3 hours working on a term paper.
