Depending upon the individual, I agree with the sentiment behind this article. Even if you go to work for a company - and I currently work for a <i>huge</i> company - it is not a requirement to have a bachelor&#x27;s degree to get a very good-paying job in technology. Some people are perfectly capable of teaching themselves the skills that they need for the job at hand; these individuals are likely wasting their time in college. There are many, however, that cannot do this; these people really need the college environment to gain the necessary skills to do their job well.
