Yes, but let's say you did. AND you had the same other skills you do.
All other things equal.
You'd win, and I'd hire you over the dork.
And, you could just as easily teach yourself what

more training than I have. There is also no substitute for realizing that

Nah, not true at all.

That's true, but is the trend away from that? A four-year degree now
can cost anywhere from $100 - 200k.
For example:
What if smart kids take some of that

In most cases College has a value to those who use the knowledge they gain,
and can find a job in their respective fields.

Similarly someone working as a therapeutic agent, whether in
psychology, psychiatry, juvenile treatment and rehabilitation whatever

And yet every single one of them is a business: suppliers, inputs,
process, outputs, customers.

Doubtful. there are plenty of jobs where the educational component is
much more important than running a business. For instance how would

Yup, and to focus on that misses and/or avoids the core question: who
should be going to college?
In other words, what purpose do we as a society see for college?
