>Education has value independent of any increase in earning potential.

And it can be gained independent of college and independent of educating oneself for a career as well. It is easy for someone going to college to get both a degree in something that will allow them financial freedom in the future and to learn all sorts of topics that employers would not care about.

Most types of education can be obtained outside of a formal setting, but not everyone is self motivated; some benefit from structure and accountability. Similarly, the interaction with other students and expert professors is unique and shouldn’t be ignored. Alumni networks are powerful things.
