I think it depends on the field. I figure I'd be a better teacher if I
had
not gone to college. It sucked but I got to watch a lot of movies
working
at the campus theatres. Indeed, I took a little class every semester
for
years just to be able to use the pool on campus...;)

It can be little more than a commodity these days with the government
licesnsing for nearly everything.

I was quite bummed by college. I thought finally here would be some
smart
people but they weren't. I guess they were all in the physics
department. ;)
