It depends on what you want to do. If you want to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, teacher etc you have to go to college. I you want to work for yourself general business classes might help, but a degree likely isn't going to help you much. If you plan to just get a job and work your way up the ladder I still think a degree is helpful. I know a few different people that started working at companies and got promotions. Eventually they were told without a degree they couldn't go any further.
More and more I would encourage any kid to get a degree. It seems like the days of this country being a manufacturing company where a person can get a job and make a decent living right out of high school are coming to an end. The next wave is likely going to be more high tech and that requires an education.
