Hey, you're the one who worked there :)
Personally, I value large chunks of the education I got in college, and think the majority of it had some value. I dunno how that value compares to the cost, and I've never seriously considered graduate school of any kind because the (tuition + lost earning) changes a bunch once you have a job.
I was mostly commenting that I thought a lot of the liberal arts education was just as valuable as the technology education, provided that I actually learned the tech so I could get a job. I learned a lot about music, literature and history that I'll have for my whole life, and that I really wouldn't have gotten off my duff to learn on my own.

What do you think made me so anti-college?
If college is just an exercise in signalling, why bother with classes at all?
Why not just replace classes with final exams, give out the paper, host a few networking events and save billions of dollars?
