That depends on what you want to do with your life, doesn't it? Obviously, running a company should teach you how to run a company. It won't teach you how to be a chemist, or an electrical engineer, or a teacher, or a composer, etc.

My brother studied electrical engineering (because the CS department was full). He now uses his degree as a paperweight and develops software, which he taught himself. There is a good chance what you learn in college won't benefit you much in real life.
That aside, you can learn anything you want outside of college, for free. Information is free, thanks to the internet.
