My undergrad advisor gave one of the best advices about why diploma is important. A college education is a social institution where you work with dozens of students, teachers and staffs across disciplines. Ideally, culminating with a diploma. That diploma doesn't tell others how good you are or you can be. It tells others that you can be part of a social institution and get some things done.

Greatness is independent of school or diploma. Some of the best minds of the world never set foot in a school campus.
