I am guessing if you learned your trade as a "hobbyist" in middle and high schools, a college degree wasn't important for your field, anyway. It's like a contractor saying, "Med school was a waste of my time." Not putting down your profession (whatever it is) at all, but just because you didn't need that piece of paper doesn't mean others who want to go into different fields don't.

My field is Computer Science. I wrote basic to intermediate programs in middle and high school as a hobby. I learned less in class than I had using a few basic programming guides on websites online. I knew guys my age over the internet who were going to smaller schools around the country who were learning topics far ahead of me. CSC at LSU is a terrible, terrible program. I really wish I hadn't wasted my money going there in the first place.

I didn't particularly enjoy most classes outside of my major's core classes either. There are a few exceptions.
