If you wanna get something out of school, that'd be the time to go.
Couple things:

1. The economic situation is already turning around and rebounding.

2. Your statement about training is false. First of all, I'm living proof that that is not true because my company took the time to train me. Employers know that college isn't geared towards training you to work at their company. College is geared towards getting all the general principles of your career in your head so that training you is EASIER than somebody straight out of high school. Thus, an employer is far LESS inclined to hire someone out of high school because training THEM is going to be more involved than training a college graduate.
