Ya, I dont think I would ever recommend not going to college at all - it definitely has its pluses. Like Pragma said, some companies are going to require that you have a degree in order to advance, and typically they wont even care what the degree is in, just that you have it. But it works two ways - if your coworker had a college degree but no cerifications/experience, he'd get turned down just the same.
I suppose it really depends on the person though. The point I was trying to make is that you shouldnt go to college expecting to learn everything you need to know to land a tech job. It takes a lot of personal interest and you have to be willing to learn things on your own. If you can combine the two, then you're set.
