I have degrees and I can assure OP that learning is indeed very important. The problem is, in college, students often not explore their talents outside the class (system). They think simply have good grades are enough to get a good living. Guess what, it's not enough!

While education is a basis for a good way of think (i.e. logical, analytical, etc.), you should expand your presence. Join various clubs will open your mind, good for networking, and broaden your perspective.

Of course, you can learn anywhere, not only in college. This is why -in my opinion- many people become successful even they dropped out of college. But most of the time, they will learn in a hard way. And people like Steve Jobs, Kiyosaki, Bill Gates, etc., are just insignificant in the term of statistics. Maybe one in a thousand.

If you don't wanna be a pedicab driver, an McD's employee, or a janitor, you better go to school, young man!
