If you want to have a job and work for somebody else and be a work processor, then go spend thousands and thousands of dollars for a couple pieces of paper that say "hi, I just spent a lot of money and I want to work under you and not make as much money as you do."
Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely anti-school. I am all for everybody being required to have an education... but up to a point.
Depending on the field though, if you go into business for yourself, you can make 6-7 figures and your real world experiance is what counts. In business ownership (again if you find the right field), they sky is the limit for your income; you still have money coming in if you're sick, injured, on vacation, etc; and you are completely free to say "OK I want to go here on this date... I want my kids to go to this school... I want this quality of life." and never have to make compromises on your life because of lack of money.
