judging by all the famous successful dropouts, oes a college degree really enhance you?

So what is the real value of college education? Does it open minds and increase knowledge, on one hand, while stifling creativity on the other? 

Can real creative geniuses be well served by a structured and predictable time table of hand-me-down fare? Where does creativity come in all this? And what is the real reason why many of the best brains don't complete college?

What do you think about this question when thinking of the top college dropouts?

I certainly wish I had their money! I believe a college degree is very useful for the majority of people, but for some who have more fertile minds, and know precisely how they wish to use it, college would be more a hindrance than a help.

Fire away.
