I felt the same way during my business undergrad -- everything I was learning, from CAPM to Deming's management ideas to queue theory and operations management, has a wiki page and at least a dozen very good blog posts. Essentially all we're paying for is someone with domain experience to tell us what's relevant to learn, and help us learn it.

How expensive is college if we take away tuition? Is a college really more than just an employment agency for professors, an agency that provides its own classrooms and spaces?

but you'd have to pay that whether you did college or not - unless you are saying you can live on the streets if you decide to not to go to college?
