I'm not totally against a college degree. I just think that most aren't worth the expense nowadays when the vast majority of good middle class type jobs are better suited to OJT with the proper candidate. Many fields do require them, I wouldn't want to go to an illiterate doctor, as an example. It's just with the knowledge of the world at our fingertips in today's society, IMHO one can better serve their own interests by educating themselves in the areas they wish to excel, without incurring a lifetime of debt.
