I make more than all my friends with a degree and i never went to college. But by the age of 15 i had figured out what i wanted to do with my life.

I think business experience trumps college any day.

critical thinking skills and problem solving skills if you do not have these by the age of 18 you are doomed anyway and it has nothing to do with college.

alot of you elders do not understand the world we live in now. you really really do not. i know so many people with degrees that arent even able to find a job.

i dont need a school to teach me anything, i will read about it on the internet and if i wanted to take it a step further find someone through my connections to teach me hands on. classroom teaching is dead, this is now a global market. your piece of paper means nothing now unless you can make people money (the real paper that matters)

so in short your question is to broad, you are grouping just like the other people who said it is a waste, i base things on individuals not groups. i bet you they didnt teach you to do that in school.
