If you want to learn more about computer science, you can also study on your own. I disliked college because the major I chose just got me lost and in the end, I ended up learning programming just by doing it.

Like this other guy says, financially it just does not make any sense. You could also end up with really bad professors who teach you squat whereas you could just pick up a high-quality textbook.

You chose the major and then didn't succeed with it. What does that have to do with college? College is not a guarantee for success and if someone told you otherwise and you believed them then I have a nice bridge to sell you. College is a path like any other. You have to walk that path and make the most of the journey.

That said, there was an article on HN a few months ago showing a strong correlation between having a college degree and earning more over a lifetime.
