I only just noticed this post. Isn't the value of college education in the tacit knowledge gathered? Education is much more than just information passing, even when it is something you can teach yourself. Programming, for example, can be self-taught better than ever. I've spent quite some free time learning Python. But taking a programming course greatly improved my skill and taught me the tacit knowledge I don't think I could've developed on my own to the same degree.
