I went to college to get an education, not training.
I also agree. I'm in college now, shooting for a Computer Information Science major within our business school, and I came here to learn, not get skills for a job. I have grown up knowing that college is intended for those who wish to learn things, not learn skills.
I come from a self-taught background in computers, and have three years of professional experience. From what I've seen, college is the difference between having a job in the IT/CS field or a career in the IT/CS field.
I say that when the day is done, college is a good ROI, as long as you milk it for all it's knowledge.
