No, no and NOOOO!!!!!

College imprints the mindset of following the commands of 'superiors' and if you allow someone to force you into doing something you don't stand for, you only learn to give up your personal creativity.

That's my take on it. I dropped out and it took me 3 years + the 3 years I spent in college to recover and find my own personal calling. If I hadn't dropped out I think it would have taken me another 10 or 20 years to truly find my calling.

The only way I see college as a good thing is if you can fit it in next to your personal calling and if you can bend it to your wishes far enough so that it is truly in line with that calling.

All in all, only do it if you can find a college that works for you instead of you working to adapt to their standards.
