The only problem I have with colleges, is that they have such a powerful ability, to strip students from the enthusiasm students had, before going there.

I've seen so many people with self-taught background in programming, going to college, just to drop it after first year. Some people lost interest in CS so much they decided to change the industry.

That's such a shame. I haven't thought about that problem before. Is it like school break the wings and put into a cage? I think dropping school is totally ok if the school is not for them. I am so sorry to hear that there is even people change the industry.
