Bill Gates was attending Harvard when he met Steve Ballmer. Gates
dropped out because he'd already established his business acumen in
founding Microsoft with Ballmer.

So, unless you has a viable plan to start your own never-before-seen
business which will be a fundamental part of a coming technological
revolution and will wind up on nearly every desktop in the United States
and abroad, you're best advised to hedge your bets and get a college
degree.

And yes, one need not have a degree in computer science to be good in the
field of IT security. Mudge (of the l0pht) has both a bachelors degree
and a masters degree...in music.
