I never went to college and I feel no worse for wear for it. At 
24, around an age I would be graduating, I'm glad I'm not looking 
at spending a quarter of my income on school loans. God knows 
taxes take a big enough toll as it is.

It really is a case-by-case situation though, as much as I'm 
against "big pharmaceutical", you can't/shouldn't be a doctor 
without proper education. Unfortunately college, like so many 
other industries, seems to be growing to fat for it's own good. 
But then, as a member of the Zeitgeist Movement, I think that 
about a lot of for-profit organizations. ;)
