Interesting debate. Myself, I have a Master's in Health Administration and a BS in Political Science. I am not directly benefiting from my degrees quite yet due to this current economic bust, but the time I purchased by going to college for 7 years is priceless eventhough they say I owe some $70,000 in student debt. Yeah well, the time spent with the ladies in the dorms and Thirsty Thusdays before 9 am midterms are worth much, much more than $70k in debt.
I fall along the line of thinking that working while in college is crucial for you to be able to apply your degree once you graduate.
Numonex, the OP, should have listed Forbes 100 wealthiest people in his argument. If I remember correctly, over half of the world's wealthiest people either have no college or are dropouts.
