Colleges/University degrees aren't so much about the piece of paper you earn or the education but, rather, the life-long connections and friendship you'll make and the people you meet, fraternities/sororities, etc. This is what most people really don't get and this is the true (hidden) value of the experience.

You know how many contracts I've picked up pretty much by default because I was friends with the person back in University? So, yes. go ahead and skip college/university. Stay in your lane. That's exactly what the powers that be want you to do.
