The general idea of this forum seems to be that it's very stupid (a waste of time and money) to go to college / university. The reason being is that you can become a very smart man by reading 'Who owns the ice house?' and 'one simple idea'.
In all seriousness. There is a place and time for formal education. The biggest CEO's of this world, most of them went to university. Most of them had promising careers before they even became an entrepreneur. They build up tons of experience and a big network. Still, most people here dislike formal education. Most of them are very young though, not much life experience and have a big (fastlane) filter because of all the entrepreneurial books they read. I would say, it's perhaps not fastlane (since all that 'fastlane' is, is a concept about generating passive income and the best way to do just that. School, obviously, is not fastlane.) But, like you say.. if you have this image for yourself to start a company where you really need some formal education (you would be suprised how often you would not need it), do it.
I think formal education is very important. I also think gaining experience as an employee is very important. But, I am the 1% on this forum when it comes to formal education.
