I got straight A's in high school. One of the most important things I learned in college was how to fail (and if you don't, you aren't working hard enough). College holds some important life lessons, if nothing else.

Some people think colleges churn out incompetent zombies, but whether or not you get good at your craft is up to you -- get involved in projects, research, and seek internships. This could even lead to a start-up of your own.

The best part is, worst case scenario, you have a degree to show employers you are competent. You need to get money from somewhere (even if you are working on a start-up)!

There are so many more perks to graduating college. I really encourage you to go! So many great experiences await you. But as Mark Twain said, "Never let school interfere with you education."

And to re-iterate the sound advice of those who commented before me...there's always someone better.
