I'll start off my throwing some light on the subject of knowledge.
Knowledge are facts, information and skills acquired through experience or education.
Now, let's pay attention to the word 'Education' it simply means acquiring knowledge or skills. Coming back to your question, "Is College worth it?". The answer lies in the definition of "College", as I said before We (Human Beings) need knowledge which we acquire via education (that's what college provides) and there's no limit to from where we can acquire education, if we associate education with college then we are just narrowing down the possible ways of acquiring it, in this age we can 'educate' ourselves from almost anywhere, examples can range from watching a youtube tutorial or reading an E-Book, etc.
I've seen most of the people "using" education to "succeed" in this world (i.e. get wealthy by getting a good job by getting more degrees), that logic is fundamentally flawed at it's core, because that's not what the purpose of Knowledge or Education is, education is required so that we understand the world better which enables us to contribute to the Human Race in general.
So you should ask yourself the reason why you would want to attend college, if it's for education and simple acquisition of knowledge and if you like to sit in a classroom and gain information from books, then I'll say it's worth it.
However if you want to go to college to get a good job then I'll say it's a waste of time. One can make more money by educating them self (resulting in savings of time) reading books, articles, just digging knowledge from the world, that will cost less time than college and also result in overall development of a person.
Sorry for the long answer.
I Hope I helped.
Thanks!
