Masters degree in engineering from University of Illinois...ran a stock brokerage twenty years and sold and retired. got bit by the porn bug.
Go to college, it really isn't about what your learn...but I'd say it gives you good preparation in HOW to learn and apply the things in an organized fashion.
Plus, you get drunk alot, get laid alot and they are the most carefree years of your life....fuck, you have the rest of your life to work...get our there pass your classes, drink some beer, smoke some dope and get laid every chance you get.
Hint: Check out the male
ratio at the college you are going to attend. Teacher oriented schools are loaded with women...engineering schools are loaded with men...
