I believe in the usefulness of college. For me. Even then, I've yet to find a job in a field corresponding to my education.
That piece of paper that results from college can be invaluable because it represents a certain amount of dues paid. It can also be valuable because it demonstrates exposure to certain ideas and methods. Either of these things can be difficult to demonstrate in non-diploma ways.
I think the list is good, though likely not useful for everyone. If the costs of higher education continue to increase, people are going to increasingly be forced to make it without college. Given the amount of information available for free online, and the space available to do creative things with that information, I suspect that avoiding college won't be as much of a roadblock to career success in the future as it is at the moment.
