how it wasted your years? Sure, you can start a startup at very very young age, but there are lots of other usueful things you can learn in college.
I had the chance to get some good art clases (which were fun, and a good way to meet girls), minoring in physics, math, doing some finance/accounting.
I did things that I wouldn't normally do, i.e was forced to go beoynd my level of comfort, which is a good thing, as it forces you to learn new thigngs and it broadens your horizons.
Whoever says that college is a waste probably didn't know how to take full advantage of it. (in academics, fun, creating life lasting connections, and learning from interacting with so many people of your age).
In the "Real World" you just don't face the huge amount of interactions in such a confined space, with some many people of your own age.

I'm mostly talking about the first two years: exact repeat of the first two years of highschool. Of course, I don't think I went to the academically best college.
