I like this example. I learned most of my accounting skills "on the job" so to speak, but going to classes showed me different and sometimes better ways to do things. Plus, the profession requires you to get that piece of paper before you are deemed competent enough to sign off on a public company's accounts in more than one continent - the paper can give you options you may not have otherwise.
A college degree (or lack thereof) does not guarantee you'll spend your life as an employee - and if a job gives you the chance to serve others in a field that gives you joy, how does that make you a loser?
