I guarantee I am better educated on MANY topics than some dumb twat who did a shitty college course.
The simply fact you think you have to pay someone else to teach you shows you don't have the intellect to figure stuff out/teach/learn yourself.
Community college is good for getting credits towards a degree at a real college, especially if you can get good scholarships and grants. Assuming your high school waives the ACT fee and you aren't a retard, you can just study for a couple of hours and score well enough to get a full ride to a community college, pocket any grants you earn, and then transfer to a school that actually matters.
The learning part of college is only halfway about actual knowledge, it's about learning from someone that employers actually trust did a good job. Sure you can read books on your own and learn a skill, but some other dipshit can say he does "his own research" and he's dumb as bricks. A degree is someone with authority signing off on what you learned.
In some fields that's not even the important reason to go to college. It can be useful for the internship opportunities and the connections you make while you're there, since it lets you skip the line and get in at a decent job. A lot of my STEM friends pulled that off, but pretty much everyone I know who went into humanities (including me) had to scrub toilets or flip burgers or something before they started getting real jobs.
