I have my bachelors, but out of the literally 800 job applications and 6 interviews, only ONE has asked about my college experience.
I now work at a warehouse making overtime, and I can assure you, they couldn't care less about Organizational Psychology or the Diagnostics and Statistics Manual V4.
I know more than a few people who've never went to college yet make the SAME amount as me....one person my age makes $16 an hour without a degree......
College is 100% useless.

Depends on your perception of useless. Can many of the careers be done just fine without one? Absolutely. So from that perspective, your point stands. However, a lack of a degree will close a lot of doors at the beginning, and establish a much lower ceiling over all (shit, half my current class is only there because they couldn't go any further in their careers with out that piece of paper). According to one of my professors, a degree isn't about teaching you to do a job anyway. It's about teaching you critical thinking, while applying it to a specific career.
