Granted, most successful people who don't go to college are either highly intelligent people already, have a talent (such as acting), or are very motivated and hard working. I don't know why people wouldn't want to go to college, besides the cost obviously. All college does is try to teach you things you don't know, which is never a bad thing. Many average businesses are now requiring college degrees, though, so depending on what career field you plan on going into, a college degree could be pretty crucial.
